Description
The Butterfly Club is a warm, moving, and sometimes funny story about friendship, bravery, and finding your place when everything feels overwhelming.
The story centres around Tina, the smallest and most delicate of triplets. Tina’s two sisters, Phil and Maddie, are confident, loud, and strong, while Tina often feels shy and left behind. Because she had a serious heart condition as a baby, everyone treats her like she’s fragile — but Tina is much tougher inside than people think.
When Tina starts a new year at school, she faces a huge challenge: she’s separated from her sisters for the first time. Even worse, she’s paired up with the school bully, Selma, for a class project on butterflies. Selma is mean and bossy, and Tina feels scared and alone.
But as the project progresses, something unexpected happens. Tina discovers her own inner strength, and even Selma turns out to have more layers than anyone guessed.
