Official synopsis Publisher
When Evvie decided to try and save Mobbs Mews from the developers she started something that soon got out of control. The grown ups were on her side because they thought of the Mews as a safe place for the children to play; but it was much more than that, shappy perhaps, but quiet, private, and an important part of Evvie’s life. It had always been a place she could escape to, either alone or with the others. By the time the long summer battle with the authorities was over, Evvie was a local celebrity, but she had lost some of her illusions and was a whole lot wiser in the ways of the world.
