    Margaret Mahy

    Formats & Editions

    Angela May and Tycho Potter are an unlikely pair. Angela is passionate, confident and popular, living an eccentric life with her mother at the top of Dry Creek Road. Her best friend Tyke prefers the company of his telescope and philosophy books - anything to escape the chaos of his family.

    But when a search for answers uncovers long-buried secrets, these two 18-year-olds will learn that sometimes the tough decisions we make have lifelong consequences.

    A moving and lyrical story that explores the truth of adolescence from Carnegie Medal-winning author, Margaret Mahy.
