Selina Penaluna is a merrymaid or so she believes . . . Ellen and Jack are evacuated from London to Cornwall during the Second World War. Ellen relishes the opportunity to better herself. Jack is different. He finds the attention from his new family stifling and seeks freedom in the arms of Selina, the mysterious local girl he sees at the shore. Selina, Ellen and Jack's lives are intertwined in a series of events that lead to tragedy.

Selina Penaluna

Nel is a wild, hippy fourteen year old girl, living with her mum in Cornwall, who juggles and does circus tricks. Eleanor is a straight laced fourteen year old girl, living with her dad in Derby, who likes watching TV and always does her homework on time. Except they're actually the same person! The story or how Nel/Eleanor learns to juggle both halves of her life, and her family, as smoothly as she juggles the little velvet beanbags is both entertaining and moving.
