Despre această carte electronică

Harry's real name is Harriet, but no one ever calls her that. When Harry is nearly eleven and her stepbrother moves in, everything she cares about starts to change: her family, her school, her home. Now, Harry finds herself looking back to see where she's come from, to work out who she is. Is she really Harry after all? A very special story about a girl who looks like a boy, a child who feels like an adult, and a past that refuses to stay there.
