‘This is a beautifully lyrical story dealing with moving house and the acceptance of change. Through the eyes of Izzy, it is learnt that you can live a life celebrating elements of the old and the new. Izzy is an imaginative and original character and has a lovely curious nature about her. I highly recommend it.’

Suzie Bull, Farrells Bookshop (ABA Text Publishing Bookseller of the Year 2019)

‘Izzy and Frank is an exquisite ode to old friends, new beginnings and the carefree adventures of childhood.’

Shannon Wong-Nizic, Oh Creative Day

Izzy loved her island. But most of all, she loved Frank the seagull.

Izzy and Frank spend blue-sky-sunny days and grey-cloud-rainy days roaming and playing by the sea.

But when Izzy has to leave her lighthouse and island life behind to move to the city, she also has to say goodbye to Frank.

The city is crowded and noisy, and Izzy misses the sand and the sea.

Can Izzy find a place for herself in her new home? And will she ever see Frank again?
