Synopsis

A teenager’s longing for family and a place to call home is poignantly portrayed in this heartfelt and ultimately uplifting story of life in the foster-care system.

Feeling betrayed when her long-term foster placement breaks down, Amy is sent to live with a new family, the Dawsons. Although initially reluctant to trust them, she eventually starts to let down her guard. But just when it seems like she’s found her forever family, she hears a telephone call that suggests things aren’t going to work out. Will Amy be abandoned again – or does she dare hope that she might finally have found home?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 8.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Eve loves to read (and watch) dramatic stories and thrillers and was compelled to write The Crash after reading about some friends in a car who crashed into the middle of nowhere. She wondered what might happen if a larger group, made up of people who didn't really like each other, were put in a similar situation. The Crash is a story about survival, teamwork but above everything else it is about friendship.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

When Amy is sent to live with her new foster family, the Dawsons, she feels like an outsider and is sure that this placement will break down – just like all the others.

But slowly she realises the Dawsons are patient and kind, and they really seem to want her there. She even finds a friend in their son, Kenny.

Can Amy let herself believe she's found her forever family, or will ghosts from the past stop her from trusting anyone again?
