In the fourth book in the Dunne series, it is Dunne’s first summer holiday and the best so far! She is on an island with Ella Frida, her best friend in the whole wide world, while her father is in hospital recovering from a traffic accident. At first, he rings her every day but then suddenly the calls stop. Dunne is worried but Ella Frida knows how to comfort her and make her feel better. Then one day, dad turns up, on crutches and with a nurse! The visit is not what anyone expected…
