AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'But Amber's totally the opposite to me, I wailed, everything about her! She treats me like dirt, and she thinks she's so cool...

'Heath's island world is turned upside down when sophisticated cousin Amber and her dysfunctional family come to stay. Life on the remote farm is devoid of funky shops, clubs, proper TV reception and emails, and the bored and arrogant Amber soon makes Heath's existence hell–at school as well as at home.

'As tensions mount between the two girls, it seems the only thing they can agree on are the two European backpacker friends that Amber has made–one of whom is the gorgeous Jamal... Or is Amber going to ruin Heath's love life too?

'It's only when a group camping expedition to a remote beach starts to go disastrously wrong that Heath and Amber have to decide whether blood really is thicker than water.'
