A Mistake-Maker with Heart
Eleven-year-old Pinkie fights to adopt a smart-alecky stray cat hoping he can save her beloved great-gran from losing her memory. But Pinkie’s GG and the cat share a painful family secret, and she must face her own failings with the boy who torments her.
Sue Lloyd-Davies lives and writes in an old cottage in a quirky Florida beach village where her fuzzy cat, Arlo, loafs next to her keyboard and types an occasional space or two into her stories.
Pinkie’s Turnabout has been featured on Connecticut and Florida Public Radio, earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly, received the Gold Royal Palm Literary Award for middle grade fiction, was a finalist in the international Mslexia Children’s Novel Competition, and was long-listed for the Yeovil Literary Prize and the Kraken Book Prize.
