The Long Garden Detective

£8.99

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?

This is a pre-order item. Set for release on 18 June. This title will be available for pre-order very soon

About the author:

As a medical doctor, Ayşe Özlem Yılmaz has spent over a decade in the Middle East and North Africa working as an advisor within the pharmaceutical industry on projects aimed to treat and cure children’s diseases. Born and raised in Türkiye, she moved to the UK with her husband and young daughter in 2018.

Observing her daughter’s experiences learning English in a new school and through her own experiences working with healthcare providers serving refugee families, Ayşe was inspired to write a story for children and families who are navigating the challenges of adjusting to new environments and forming new friendships.

The Long Garden Detective is her first book.
