Yes, please. * Patrice Lawrence *I just devoured this spectacular story in one sitting. I adored Nadines debut, but The Hidden Story of Estie Noor has stolen my heart. This is a love letter to stories and homes and the importance for standing up for yourself. Its a homage to small towns where everyone knows everyone, the importance of empathy, and the courage it takes to see all the myriad versions of you. Its the very best of middle grade literature: lyrical and heartfelt and magic. Nadine Jassat is a special storyteller, this is a future classic if Ive ever read one. * Laura Noakes, author of Cosima Unfortunate Steals a Star * Details ISBN1510111603 Author Nadine Aisha Jassat Audience Age 9-11 Publisher Hachette Childrens Group Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781510111608 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-05-09 Imprint Orion Childrens Books Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom UK Release Date 2024-05-09 Language English ISBN-10 1510111603 Audience Children / Juvenile NZ Release Date 2024-05-13 AU Release Date 2024-05-13 Pages 320 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
