| Description: |
Suitable for teenagers, this work tells the story of a boy and a girl, one the driver of a car - the other injured by the car in an accident. How they both recover from the ordeal is told through monologues, as they grow to understand the world in new ways. |
| Synopsis: |
Ryan: In the headlights, I saw her face. Brown hair swinging as she turned to stare at us. Brown eyes stretched wide and startled. Then she hit the windscreen. Tara: I heard a roaring, shuddering noise. I was in mid-air, arms and legs stretched out. Then everything the car, the guys, me went rushing and shrinking together in a tiny glare of light, and I sank into the dark. Ryan has just got his licence. He's in the car with his mates. Tara likes to go running. She's on her way back home. Neither of them is paying much attention...The harrowing accident that follows impacts many lives. This is a moving and compelling story of recovery, told by one of New Zealand's foremost children's writers. |
