About Gilbert’s Cake
“At Hattie’s house, there were four pairs of boots at the door. But there were five people in Hattie’s family.”
It’s Gilbert’s seventh birthday. Hattie’s parents and twin brother set off over the sand dunes to watch the waves. But Hattie knows a birthday is not a birthday without a cake . . .
