Swimming on the Moon

Twelve-year-old Anna"s parents are going through a rough patch, but Anna can"t let them split up. Not when it might mean living apart from Anto, her twin brother. Anto might be a boy, and he might not speak (except using Lego bricks), and he might carry a coat hanger about like it"s his closest friend, but that doesn"t stop the two of them being like peas in a pod. It"s a twin thing, and nobody"s going to separate them.



So Anna hatches a plan: get the whole family on a plane to Italy. Her parents have always been happiest on holiday. How can they fail to fall back in love at a swanky hotel with an actual pool to swim in and everything!



But when Anna discovers more about why her family has grown apart, suddenly a happy holiday in Italy seems about as likely as swimming on the moon .
