'When Anne's parents decide to return to the holiday town of Amoora for their summer holiday, so much has changed. Anne is no longer a young girl discovering the coast for the first time, when she learned to surf, sail and catch fish.

'Now she is fifteen, and starting to understand the adult world and her place in it. She and John, the local boat-owner's son, renew their friendship and together they stumble upon a tragedy that will affect the whole town, explore a sacred Aboriginal site and experience a terrifying Australian bush fire.'
