Lights Up

  • Format:

A magical, theatrical adventure about friendship, acceptance and putting the ghosts of the past to rest, from the award-winning author of The Secret of Haven Point. \n\nJust like her favourite person in the whole world – her grandad – Hettie’s favourite place in the whole world – the Arts Centre – has gone. And Hettie can’t quite work out how she’s supposed to feel anything like how she did before. \n\nMany years before, Jack is feeling lonely too. But his life changes when he’s taken in by a theatre troupe and learns the secrets of the mysterious people behind the acts.\n\nAnd many years before that, Araine is also struggling, with a life that doesn’t look anything like she thought it would. A meagre existence where it seems like rich people, with their evenings out at the theatre, don’t have a thing to worry about.\n\nWhen you’re feeling alone it can be hard to see the light. \n\nBut even though they live YEARS apart, Hettie, Jack and Araine are connected in ways they never imagined. \n\nA magical story full of ghosts, theatre, love, friendship and family from disabled writer, activist, spoken word artist and theatre maker Lisette Auton. Perfect for fans of Elle McNicoll and Sophie Anderson.
