Synopsis

Up until I moved to England, just three months ago, I knew exactly who I was, Julia Lemonides, fourteen years old, confident, popular, artistic and lively...

Back home in Cyprus, Julia had everything - good friends, confidence, a beloved cousin, a pet cat...and glorious sunshine. But all this changes when her family move to London and she has to start all over again. Julia doesn't know a word of English, and to begin wth she feels like an outsider, lonely and isolated. But with time, and with the help of new friends, her family, and her sense of humour and determination, she begins to adapt to the new climate, language and culture.
