Book description
Since Listen Taylor's dad started dating a Zing, her life has gone from
unusual to downright weird. The delightfully mad Zing family live in a
world of unexplained projects, coded conversations and state-of-the-art
surveillance equipment - all to protect the Zing family secret, one so
huge it draws them all, including Listen's dad, to the garden shed for
meetings every Friday night. And Listen isn't invited. But Listen also
has things she'd rather keep hidden - a secret too heartbreaking to
share and an unconventional spell book (with a spell to make a vacuum
cleaner break and another to make someone eat cake?!) that might be the
answer to her problems.
Jaclyn Moriarty grew up in Sydney, Australia, and studied Law and
English on three continents - at Sydney University in Australia, Yale
in the US and Cambridge in England. She spent four years working as a
media and entertainment lawyer, but now writes full-time. Jaclyn lives
in Sydney and Montreal, depending on where the summer is, but is
currently staying in Australia with her new baby.
Jaclyn's first novel for young adults, Feeling Sorry for Celia ,
was an instant bestseller in Australia, America and the UK. She
followed this up with the equally fantastic Finding Cassie Crazy and
Becoming Bindy Mackenzie. Jaclyn also writes for adults - and she is
already writing her next novel.
