Speed of Light by Joy Cowley
With a father more interested in money than family, a brother in prison, a sister with a secret, and a mother in denial, it's no wonder Jeff buries himself in the safe world of mathematics. When a storm hits Wellington, a strange old woman is blown into Jeff's life, challenging everything he things is true."Jeff and the old woman are delightful characters and vividly aliveSo too is the city of Wellington, and the advance of the storm, with its rages of rain, really does set the scene for tensions to rise."
-- Magpies (AU)"A high-drama read, full of twists."
-- Weekend Herlad (NZ)"A delightful, understated story … If boys, who notoriously shun any emotive, sensitive literature can be encouraged to pick up this book, then there is some hope of getting through and perhaps changing a destiny or two. Let’s make that happen."
-- Booksellers (NZ)
