Shine

by Kate Maryon


Can Tiff shine without her mum?

What happens when your mum gets sent off to prison and there’s no one around to care for you? Where would you live? Could you keep your dog? Where would you go to school? Would you crumple in a heap of sorrow or would you learn to shine? See what happens to 11-year-old Tiff when her mum’s not around. There’s a kind police officer and a mean girl in a foster home. There’s a long lost aunt and an adventure that takes her by ferry to live on a tiny island without any street lights, without any cars.

The Police Officer looks at me, scratches his head then turns to Mikey. ‘Are you the registered keeper of this vehicle, Sir?’ ‘Yes mate,’ says Mikey, tapping and tapping, ‘it’s all in order, Officer, I just bought it from my brother in law, he must of forgotten to send off the papers; know what I mean?’
