Lily and her family spend the summer on the Greek island of Thasos, where the appearance of Jack Hemmings, an American boy with unpredictable behaviour, alters the relationship between Lily and her brother Paul.

For child and young adult readers: realistic story with an eleven-year-old protagonist, about friendship and family relationships.
