A brand new novel for children aged 8-12 years from celebrated children’s book author, Odette Elliott.
Abigay’s Farm is a page-turning story where diverse and multi-generational characters clash over new ideas and the old ways.
When Abigay’s twin brother Gabriel is admitted to hospital, she is brought to stay with her grandparents at Willowfield Farm. This is the first time she finds herself without him on the farm they both love. She soon learns that Willowfield is going to be sold and feels that her whole world is collapsing. It will take courage, determination and new friends to help Abigay save her beloved family farm.
With the addition of lively illustrations by Patrice Aggs, Abigay’s Farm will entertain young readers with its warm family feeling and exciting storyline.
In the idyllic setting of Willowfield Farm, a young girl must find a way to save the financially ailing family farm while her twin brother undergoes yet another surgery. How can Abigay convince her grandfather to listen to her ideas and stop the neighborhood bully from interfering? It will take courage, creativity and the help of new friends to save Willowfield Farm.
Abigay's Farm is a modern classic -- a delightful family tale with a diverse cast of characters, contemporary problems and an action-packed, pacy read. I especially love the multi-generational aspect of this novel where the grandparent-grandchild relationship takes center stage. In addition, the twin bond between brother and sister is masterfully presented -- touching, tumultuous and funny at once.
In the midst of high fantasy and magical mystery books galore, young readers will enjoy this realistic story with its contemporary drama and relatable personalities set in charming rural surroundings. A great read -- highly recommended!
