The Accident

Description

In this impressive and beautifully written debut, Kate Hendrick sets the butterfly effect in motion. The moving stories of three teenagers going through crucial changes - before, after and around the accident - show how random actions acquire significance. How one pivotal moment could transform your life and you might never know; how what you do truly matters.

Reviews

'For me, it brought back the raw sting of familiarity of reading John Marsden for the first time. Like Marsden, Hendrick's writing shows that sometimes families can let us down. Her vulnerable characters voice our secrets, remind us we are not alone and offer a light at the end of the tunnel.' Australian Bookseller & Publisher
