Cadence [Paperback] Eddie Ayres

Eddie Ayres brings his extraordinary gift for storytelling to this middle-grade novel about finding your rhythm in a world that doesn't always make sense. Cadence follows a young protagonist navigating the complexities of identity, music, and belonging with honesty and heart. Ayres, himself a celebrated musician and writer, weaves melody into every page, creating a story that's both tender and true. This is Australian children's literature at its finest—authentic, nuanced, and deeply moving. Perfect for young readers (and their adults) who love books that honour the messy, beautiful journey of becoming yourself.
