'"You have to move quickly or they'll find us," Gabriel is whispering to her in the darkened treetops.

'What are these games Rookie finds herself playing? Her real name is Rokaya but she often feels like 'a rookie' for some reason, like she's new, like she has to prove herself to everyone. She doesn't know why. And when her Muslim family move to Australia from New Zealand, things don't seem to get any better. The thing about games is you need to know the rules, but what if they seem to keep changing'

'And are the games we play so real?'
