The Long Garden Detective Summary

The Long Garden Detective: a gorgeous mystery story about language, moving house and friendship by Ayse Ozlem Yilmaz

Do you remember how you learnt to talk when you were a baby? Do you think that you could learn another language now if you had to?

Well, Yaz is not so sure!

It is her first day at her new school in a new country where she doesn't speak the language. What if she needs to pee and the teacher doesn't understand her? What if nobody wants to make friends with her because she can't understand what they are saying?

She is sure of only one thing: her detective instinct ... But will it help her to solve the mystery of this new language?

This fun, engaging story will make kids smile and fill them with confidence about learning a new language. After all, they already did it once, when they were babies, so why can't they do it again?
