About this listen

A summer she can't remember.

A friendship she won't forget.

Nothing much happens in Sycamore, the small village where Clara lives—at least, that's how it seems. She loves eating ripe mangoes fallen from trees, running outside in the rainy season and escaping to her secret hideout with her best friend Gaynah. There's only one problem: she can't remember anything about the previous summer.

When a quirky girl called Rudy arrives from England, everything starts to change. Gaynah stops acting like a best friend, while Rudy and Clara roam across the island and uncover an old family secret. As the summer reaches its peak and the island storms begin, Clara's memory starts to return and she must finally face the truth of what happened last year.

Yet again so much humanity, compassion and normal people getting it wrong, but finding their way back. Lively and thoughtful.

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU MANGOS by Kereen Getten is a wonderful, atmospheric and surprising MG+ story. It’s about family, community, loss and forgiveness. It’s mysterious and colourful, and fiercely narrated by Sarah Novak.

Colourful, atmospheric and surprising.

Loved the story line, The Caribbean setting of superstition mixed in with real life was a twist for me didn't suspect it lol. Very enjoyable listen.

I highly recommend. Such a good read. Loved the sense of a close net community and the support from both Mum and Dad. You could tell the healthy family bond
