Too many secrets, buried for too long . . .

Becs is a sassy 12-year-old drama queen who strikes a bargain with her mother. She’ll spend a few months away from home while her new step-family renovates an elegant old house in the country. When it’s sold, some of the money will pay her fees at the same private school that all her friends will be attending.

But as usual, she hasn’t been listening properly. They aren’t going to live in the old mansion – they’ll be living in a shack in the bush, with long drops and eight-legged wildlife. There is no power, no phone and no shopping malls for miles.

Becs is not impressed and makes sure everyone knows it. That is until she discovers a secret that will change her life. What follows is an intriguing, funny, and sad story about friendship, while uncovering a tragic secret that’s been hidden for far too long.
