Review
Chloe splits her life between Sydney and The Shallows in the high country, she has ever since her parents divorced but her real friends are at The Shallows.
When young Henry Weaver disappears from The Shallows during a storm, everyone thinks that he has run away. But when Chloe returns she finds her best friends are all unsettled and evasive, so she decides to try and retrace Henry’s steps, only to find that nothing really makes sense. What do her friends really know and who is keeping secrets?
I loved this book and found it thoroughly entertaining, right up to the last page. It is intriguing and the plot that will keep you guessing all the way through.
In addition to the mystery, at its heart this book is about family and friends and how far you would go to keep a secret. It is also about love, loyalty and, ultimately, trust.
A wonderful story that will suit students in Year 9 and up perfectly.
