(2) YA Set in a poignantly evoked 1980s Australian mining town, Foxlee's graceful first novel recounts a family tragedy. Eleven-year-old Jennifer's narrative begins after the death of her older sister Beth. The story flashes between the present and the preceding year, encompassing Beth's increasingly disaffected adolescence. Foxlee creates a moving, believable portrait of a teenage girl falling into destructive behavior.
