When Connie gets a letter from the dad she thought was dead, she sets out to discover why he left her eight years ago, sitting in an airport cafe with only her pet chameleon for company.

Since then she has lived with her foster mum, a cleaner at the airport, living in hope of someday seeing her dad again in the place she last saw him.

With her new friend, a fearless, fossil-hunting boy called Thyo, she tracks her dad down. But as he reveals his true colours, Connie starts to wonder if she’s made a very big mistake.

A gripping and humorous middle-grade adventure about found families, trust and truth. And chameleons.
