Re-Entry, Rosanne Hawke , single work novel young adult
Re-Entry recounts the struggle of the adolescent Jaime, whose Australian family assisted the resettlement of refugees in Pakistan, to reacclimate to the country of her birth, a difficult task when her memories of Pakistan are idealized.
 (p. 7-184)
Jihad, Rosanne Hawke , single work novel young adult

'Australian teenager, Jaime Richards, was back on holidays in the Pakistan she grew up in. The old world charm was still there - the villages, the bazaars and the mysterious rugs - but the barrel of a Kalashnikov changed it all.'

'Taken at gunpoint beyond the ancient Khyber Pass, Jaime and her friends were to be caught up in a shadowy secret world of intrigue and terrorism. Would they escape the Mujahadeen, fighting their holy war? And what of Jasper's own struggles within?

'For Jaime, this trip was to prove painful enough to change her life forever, yet also it was to prove strangely rewarding'. (Source: back cover.)

 (p. 185-422)
Note: Revised version.
Cameleer, Rosanne Hawke , single work novel young adult
'Jaime journeys to the outback to help on the station of Blake, a school friend. What she finds there is his little sister, Liesa, a troubled nine year old who befriends her. Jaime tells Liesa a story she has written about her experiences in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and this story becomes a healing and reconciliation process for each of them. Jaime's relationship with Blake strengthens romantically, and by the end of the novel she is comfortable with living in Australia again although her life in Pakistan will always be a part of her.'
