Description

Ella and Ari always knew they had a sister…they just didn’t know it was each other. A heartwarming story about friendship, family and sisterhood, from award-winning author Sarah Hagger-Holt.

When Ella and Ari start at St Hilda’s secondary school, they both feel alone. But after a chance meeting at auditions for the choir, they become friends.

When they discover that not only are they both adopted, they’re actually sisters, their worlds are turned upside down. While Ari is excited, Ella doesn’t know how to respond, and the differences between Ari’s laid-back dads and Ella’s old-fashioned Mum only adds to the tension.

Then Ella’s faced with the challenge of her Grandma’s sudden illness, and when she leans on Ari in her time of need, the two families decide to try and make the relationship work, finding harmony together despite their differences.

Publisher Review

A Sister Like You is a moving story of family, feelings and finding your voice. * Mitch Johnson, author of Strike * A joy to read! Warm, wonderfully written, brilliantly inclusive, and with characters I was rooting for from start to finish. I loved it. * Jen Carney, author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G * A wonderful tale about complicated families, music and finding courage to be yourself. * Maise Chan, author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths * This is another fantastic story from Sarah Hagger-Holt, which shines a light on unconventional families while still bursting with relatable experiences for all children. Ella and Ari are wonderfully drawn characters whose journeys to find their true selves within is both authentic and moving. I loved how the power of music was weaved throughout the story and immediately led me to play some of the tunes mentioned when I finished the book! * Kristina Rahim, author of The Doughnut Club *
