Chameleon Dad
by Debbie Thomas (Author)
A gripping summer adventure about found families, trust, and truth. And chameleons.
Connie will never forget the day her dad went to buy her a cup of hot chocolate at an airport café - and never came back. That was eight years ago.
Connie loves her foster-mum, Mags, but longs o find her dad again. When a mysterious letter appears, she vows to track him down with the help of her new friend, a fearless fossil-hunting boy called Thyo. Soon Connie is on a plane with her pet chameleon, Hue, on the most exciting, and scariest, journey of her life.
