A New Adventure Awaits At Periwinkle’s Bazaar…
Linnet Hill has spent her life behind convent walls, dreaming of a world of invention and possibility. When she’s sent to work in a cluttered curiosity shop, she is determined to make the most of her freedom, and to find her lost friend, Dove.
With her inventive mind and a stubborn streak, Linnet sets out to uncover the truth – about Dove, about Mrs Periwinkle, and about the flying machine that could change everything. But Linnet soon realises that freedom always has a cost.
Linette and the Periwinkle Flyer is a heartwarming, high-spirited adventure about found family, rebellion, and dreaming big in a world that wants to keep girls small.
