Her strategy is upset when Azita, an Iranian refugee, joins her Year 7 class, and they become friends. The two girls are opposites, and Holly's world expands in unexpected ways. It will take her on a journey towards independence and self-belief and towards a greater understanding of the natural world. She will have to contend with grief and learn how to live with it and grow beyond it. Set in an imaginary coastal town in Queensland, Holly's perceptive and captivating account will resonate across all age groups as she grapples with personal uncertainty and tragedy to hope for a better world.
