Fault Lines is here!

The Eco Warriors are back!

    Samantha Steadman and her friends are now in Grade 10 at Clifford House boarding school but this year, cracks are beginning to appear in their friendships, romances and their belief in themselves. When Samantha joins ecological activists to block fracking in the Karoo, she expects that her best friends will be right alongside her in the fight. But Nomusa takes a very different view of the controversial issue and Jessie, under the influence of a glamorous new girl at the school, is too obsessed with her weight and appearance to care about ecology.

    Samantha feels very alone as she tries to deal with pressure from boys, school and her Poison Dwarf of a science teacher, all while uncovering a personal mystery from the past and struggling to save the Karoo – as well as her friendships – from splitting down their fault lines.

      I loved writing this one - it's funny and romantic and more complex than the previous two. The girls are growing up! 

     F ault Lines is out and available in SA. International readers will have to wait a couple of months for it to cross the ocean, I'm afraid. You can grab a copy online at Loot (currently lowest price), Exclusives, Takealot, or get it in-store at Love Books, Exclusives or Reader's Warehouse. If they don't have it, ask them to order - the ISBN is 978-1-4853-0422-7

 I'm also available for school visits, or come to the Kingsmead Book Fair on 21 May and let's chat in person!
