This eBook collection contains “This Wonderful Thing” and “Some Sunny Day,” two funny and moving novels from the acclaimed author of “Boy Underwater.”
“This Wonderful Thing”
Jessica is playing with her family at the river when she finds a dirty, bedraggled teddy bear in the water. She has no idea that it will change everything, forever. Meanwhile, Cymbeline comes home from school to find that his mum's house has been broken into—and the thieves seemed oddly focused on his toys. Thank goodness he had Not Mr. Fluffy, his Bear of Most Extreme Importance, with him. Soon, Jessica and Cymbeline find themselves swept up in a mystery that spans decades, threatens their families, and turns their lives upside down. But sometimes, just maybe, a new life can be a really wonderful thing...
“Some Sunny Day”
Cymbeline Igloo is BORED. Bored of home learning, bored of lockdown, bored of not being able to DO anything. And to make things even worse, his mum accidentally gave away his favorite football shirt.

When Cym starts a project all about Mrs. Stebbings' childhood in World War II, he can't know that it's the beginning of something incredible and even dangerous. Exploring the place where her street once stood, he finds a tent, a strange girl wearing HIS SHIRT, and a mystery that will change absolutely everything. Because the past is more present than Cymbeline can possibly know—and the most amazing thing is how much one small person can do RIGHT NOW...
