Publisher's Summary
Mannie is searching for the thing she doesn't yet know, but it's like a runaway kite pulling her heart forward. So she's leaving home. She's heading for the city with nothing but a long red dress, a strong hunch, and an unknown address in her pocket.
As the day turns to night, Mannie makes a lot of discoveries and not exactly the ones she planned to make. With rare sensitivity, wisdom and humour, and a voice that's entirely her own, Martine Murray tells a bittersweet story about longing and losing and finding again.

Critic Reviews
"A beautiful and intense experience of a girl, a day, and a whole life. Mannie is an original and observant narrator who distils the essence of people and situations and in doing so is learning how to live." (Children's Book Council of Australia)
