Libby Gleeson

When Red finds herself covered in mud in the aftermath of a cyclone, unable even to remember her own name, she sets out to find out who she is and where she belongs.

This book has a couple of things going for it. Firstly it's an Australian perspective which makes a nice change. It deals with the bravery of a girl after a tropical cyclone that wreaks havoc on Sydney. It is written quite simply and would appeal to 10-14 year olds, and is a relatively fast paced adventure.

One thing I didn't like is that the cover is much more mature than is merited by the characters or the writing / story.
