About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition, such as moving to a new city or starting at a new school, and needs a whimsical reminder that 'home' is carried within us rather than being tied to a fixed location. It is a charmingly absurd adventure about Ramsly, a coastal English town that literally breaks off the mainland and begins drifting south toward warmer climates. Through the eyes of a resilient community and a very observant cat, readers explore how people adapt to the unexpected with humor and cooperation. This story is ideal for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy dry British wit and fantastical premises. It balances the anxiety of the unknown with the excitement of discovery, making it a soothing yet engaging choice for family read-alouds or independent readers. Parents will appreciate how the book models community problem-solving and resilience in the face of literal and figurative sea changes.
