Winter

Winter is another hit by John Marsden. He is a great writer whose books always capture the emotions of his characters.

Winter is 16. She has lived away from home for 12 years, since her parents died. Now she has fought her way back to Warriewood, the family homestead. She has some questions that need to be answered - mostly about things people assume she knows already.

Winter is the story of a girl taking charge of her own life regardless of the obstacles.

My only complaint about John Marsden's books is that we have so few of them here compared to what he has published in Australia.
