Det finns musik överallt – om man bara lär sig hur man lyssnar.
Efter en svår bilolycka kan Annie inte längre spela på sin flöjt och drar sig undan från musiken hon alltid har älskat. I stället lever hon i en värld av tystnad, arg på sin mamma som orsakade bilolyckan och arg för att hon inte kan spela längre. Då träffar hon Noah, som visar henne en familj koltrastar undangömda i busksnåren nära deras hyreshus. Koltrastarnas vackra sång väcker något inom Annie och hon börjar må bättre, tills ett nytt hot dyker upp och koltrastarna är i fara ...
En lättläst, poetisk bok om kärleken till musiken, om förlåtelse och om att hitta en ny mening med livet efter omvälvande händelser.
Författaren vann Carnegie Medal 2022 med sin barnbok October, October.
