What is Binny for Short about?

After the death of her father and the loss of her beloved dog, Max, Binny’s life is turned upside down.

There, she meets Gareth, her daring neighbour and rival. As Binny explores her new surroundings, she begins to wonder whether she might finally find Max—and a way to heal her family’s sadness.
