A captivating coming of age story for younger teens, set in New Guinea where 16 year-old Julie goes to live with the father she's never known
It had started almost as a joke, as a challenge to her mother during one of their endless arguments. She can't even remember now what Caroline had said to spark it off, but Julie snapped back, hot with fury, "Well, maybe I should go and live with Tony for a while and see how that works out!" and Caroline, suddenly calm, had said, "Maybe you should." And the next thing Julie knew, she was on her way to meet a father she doesn't know in a country she's never been to. What will she find when the tiny plane touches down in the lush tropical highlands of New Guinea? She might expect culture shock, she might hope for first love, but the secrets she uncovers make for a truly unforgettable summer.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Julie has grown up not knowing her father, with just the occasional Christmas card and the knowledge that he flies planes for a charter company in New Guinea. When she comes to stay with him one long summer, she learns to appreciate not only her long-lost father and his love of flying, but also New Guinea itself and the people she meets. An awkward romance with a young expat contrasts with her growing attraction to the son of a local coffee plantation owner. And, left to her own devices much of the time, Julie learns to rely on herself and gain her own independence. A tragedy and then a mystery leave her reeling, but force her to evaluate what she really wants out of life.'Engaging and hard to put down' - Hannah, 15'Captivating.the unexpected twists kept me on my toes' - Georgia, 15.
