Mclean is used to starting afresh. Since her mum split up the family, she and her dad have got used to moving every time he’s allocated a new job. Though she doesn’t realise it, Mclean has got used to becoming someone new and never settling into a place.
When sent to their latest venture, there’s nothing to suggest it’ll be any different.
Pretty soon, though, it’s clear she is starting to care about the people she’s met. She’s putting down roots and starting to settle.
This was not an action-packed book by any means. We follow Mclean as she learns a little more about herself and comes to realise what’s important to her. We see her developing relationships and watch as she starts to forge a new more adult relationship with her parents.
