Author(s): Fleur Beale
NZ Middle Fiction 8-12-year-olds | Adventure and Real Life Stories
Lyla has just started her second year of high school when a magnitude 6.3 earthquake shakes Christchurch to pieces. Devastation is everywhere. While her police officer mother and trauma nurse father respond to the disaster, Lyla puts on a brave face, opening their home to neighbours and leading the community clean-up. But soon she discovers that it's not only familiar buildings and landscapes that have vanished--it's friends and acquaintances too. As the earth keeps shaking day after day, can Lyla find a way to cope with her new reality?
