'The Hope family live by the sea, in a house with its hands in its pockets and a
puppy named Princess Sassy.
Mr Hope invents wonderful new devices, Mrs. Hope likes burnt toast. Marissa watches the waves. And Dion listens to the whispers of the wind.
But when Mr. Owen Mortlock and his brother Selwyn decide to build some apartments, everything is suddenly different.
The wind goes away, the ocean vanishes from their windows, and that's not even the worst bit... But of course, there's always hope... ...and there's always a breeze somewhere.' (Publisher's blurb)
