Told in a nonjudgmental narrative that confronts issues head-on,
this story follows 17-year-old Elisabeth who discovers she is
pregnant and has a tough choice to make: keep the baby or make
alternative arrangements. With parents pressuring her, a boyfriend
she cannot trust, a best friend she keeps pushing away, and her own
indecision, Elisabeth's dilemma grows more and more difficult. This
realistic account of teenage pregnancy addresses the pros and cons
of both possible outcomes through the alternating perspectives
through Libby, who keeps the baby, and Beth, who does not.
Mia is used to cyclone build-ups, but the noise and energy of the
wild rain squalls keep her awake half the night. What if the
cyclone hits before Mum gets back? As wild winds batter the coast,
Mia knows she must keep calm. The animals need her.
Thirteen-year-old Mia lives on a bush block in the Pilbara, where
she assists her mother's work as a vet and equine therapist.
Although she is used to the seasonal cyclones that threaten the
West Australian coast, nothing can prepare her for the ferocity of
Cyclone Veronica when she finds herself home alone and needing to
protect their property and the animals she loves. When her friend
Nick arrives, pleading for help, and her favourite horse is
injured, will Mia be able to withstand the greatest challenge of
her life? As the storm intensifies, can she save her beloved
animals?
