The Mudskipper

The Mudskipper
The Mudskipper

Young girl unravels family secrets in Singapore.

"The Mudskipper" is more than just a tale of a girl's adjustment to a new environment—it's a portal into the heart of family mysteries and the warmth of unexpected friendships. Lizhi's journey, intertwined with cultural nuances and a touch of the supernatural, could be the perfect escape for someone looking to immerse themselves in a story that expertly blends the bitterness of loss with the sweetness of discovery.

Description

Ten-year-old Lizhi arrives in Singapore to meet her father's family after he dies in an accident. Aunt Mona, his sister, is rude and strange and does little to make her feel at home. Lizhi struggles to make sense of this new place in which her only friend is the young Indonesian maid, Bwe Bwe. Then one day she discovers a beautifully carved mudskipper in a house that is full of forgotten objects, neglected furniture, and locked rooms. What other secrets will Lizhi uncover? And who is the mysterious person she sees in the garden?
