Welcome to Litsy!

I read this as a tween when I smashed through all the John Marsden books and I don‘t think I particularly liked it - I enjoyed it so much more now when I can see the effects of trauma and growing up feeling displaced have had on Winter and not just sort of write her off as a rude teenager who asks a lot of questions. The heart of this story is about coming home, making peace with the past and making a better future for oneself. #DoubleSpin

This was a very interesting book to read. At first I was confused about what was going on, but as we followed Winter on her journey, it became hard to put down.

Read all the John Mardsen.
(It's a good plan, I promise)

Winter's past is heartbreaking.
