"Gilly keeps her secrets close—hidden in whispers, dreams, and the quiet spaces where the forest meets her imagination. Somewhere on the other side of the trees, her dad is waiting. Maybe.
With Oggy, her best friend and keeper of a thousand made-up words, Gilly searches for answers:
Can a prayer—or a spell—bring back someone who’s been gone too long?
What if he doesn’t want to be found?
And if she finds him, will he still be the dad she remembers?
Written in the voice of a 10-year-old girl with a heart full of questions, Tangerines is a lyrical, tender story about family, friendship, and the quiet magic of believing in what matters most."
