Summary

Keep trying, keep laughing, keep dancing!

From the Blue Peter Book Award shortlisted author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths.

Twelve-year-old Lizzie Chu lives in Glasgow with her grandad Wai Gong, and he's been acting a little strangely lately. He is becoming forgetful, and spends a lot of time talking to his statue of Guan Yin—the Chinese goddess of compassion, kindness and mercy. Even the shared passion he and Lizzie have for dancing and Strictly seems to be tailing off. Lizzie is worried about Wai Gong, but doesn't really know what to do to help him. She's already got a lot on her plate with caring for him, doing the shopping and everything else on top of schoolwork and the usual trials of being 12!

Then Lizzie comes up with a madcap plan. She's going to take Wai Gong on the trip of a lifetime, to Blackpool—to the Tower Ballroom, where he always longed to go, to dance with his late wife Grandma Kam. To rekindle that love for dancing and to see if Wai Gong can find his mojo again. The only problem is—just how on earth is she going to get him there? With a little help from her friends Chi and Tyler, some ingenious costumes and an older brother with a beat-up Mini, Lizzie might just make it - and maybe she will be able to help Wai Gong get better after all?

A warm-hearted, funny, intergenerational story for fans of Frank Cottrell Boyce and Benjamin Dean.

Critic reviews

'Keep Dancing, Lizzie Chu is brimming with kindness, humour and lovable characters. The story of Lizzie and the obstacles she overcomes to help her grandfather had me laughing out loud on one page and welling up on the next. Maisie Chan is a wonderful storyteller.' (Kate Gilby-Smith, author of The Astonishing Future of Alex Nobody)
