Jenna is fifteen, a couple of weeks away from her sixteenth
birthday. After her step-father abuses her, she runs away to a
beach house owned by her grandmother, Glenys, which has been empty
for years. Looking after herself, determined to be independent and
to stay safe, she cautiously gets to know the local shopkeeper, the
elderly Maori man who leaves freshly caught fish on her doorstep,
and a teenage boy on holiday in a neighbouring cottage. She
uncovers the history of her nan and finds that history can repeat
itself, but in a good way. This is a beautifully written,
heart-warming story set in New Zealand. The characters are lightly
but cleverly drawn, and the environment is vividly brought to life.
This charming book will appeal to young adults and readers of all
ages.
