'It's moving day! The chaos of moving to a new house and adapting to change can be daunting. But how can anyone focus on that when the new house has such a beautiful garden? And this is not just any garden. No. This garden has a secret - the mystery of the oak tree! Douha and her family say goodbye to their old house. Changing schools means having to make new friends. Though, Douha is so eager to uncover what is hidden, that she can hardly think of anything else! Is the oak tree trying to tell her something? It seems to be calling to her. Will Douha solve the mystery? You'll have to see for yourself.'

'For 10 year old Douha Hassan, the first school term shaped up better than expected. She has the best teacher, joined the school's basketball team, and made loads of new friends. But now it's the school holidays, and Douha is facing lots of challenges at home. She feels stuck between her older sister Siham who thinks she is ungrateful and her younger twin sisters who she finds annoying. She is also trying to befriend and be kind to her elderly, but grumpy neighbour, Mr Taylor. It's all very frustrating, but this school holiday falls in the special month of Ramadan, and it seems that Douha will be in for a change of heart.'
