About this listen
A funny, tender and wise story about nearly 13-year-old Cedar B. Hartley - who loses her dog, finds a new friend, becomes an acrobat and learns some bitter sweet truths about family, community and herself. Cedar B. Hartley is not easily accepted by her peers. Her dog Stinky is her best mate. Things start to change when she meets a boy called Kite and finds they have a lot in common - both have single parents, both are loners with colourful inner lives, both like beanies, dogs and acrobats. Together they form a circus troupe which unifies the inner city community.
Actor Anna Steen's superb narration captures the essence of this story about belonging, uniqueness, family and friends. Through her story Cedar B. Hartley unravels many mysteries and gains understanding of the complications of life - and is uplifted by it.
