Ellie battles feelings of anxiety about school that she cant explain in this sensitively told tale from acclaimed author Eve Ainsworth. When Ellie wakes up one day and cant face going to school, her parents think there must be a reason. Is she being bullied? Or is the schoolwork too hard? But neither of these things are true, and Ellie finds it impossible to explain how she feels. As the days of absence turn into weeks and then months, Ellies parents support her through this difficult time, but can she find a way to go back? Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 7.
