'From much-loved Australian YA author, Belinda Jeffrey comes her first picture book full of adventure and mayhem!

'This is a cheeky, colourful and humorous story told through beautifully detailed collage pictures about a naughty child called Finnigan. His catch phrase, ‘It wasn’t me!’ echoes through the house every time his mother discovers something amiss!

'Whether it is an overflowing bathtub, a drawing on the wall, an overturned flowerpot or a messy bedroom, Finnigan really believes that it wasn’t him who created these problems.

'But if it wasn’t Finnigan, then who was it?' (Publisher's blurb)

While Sally is bold and adventurous, Ruby is quiet and creative. When divorce splits their family in two, and Sally moves with their mother to the Northern Territory, Ruby holds onto the thought that one day her family will be complete again. But when tragedy strikes, wrapping Sally in a cocoon from which she might never escape, Ruby learns that love is never simple but one of the many tangled branches in her family tree.'
