The Shattering

Summerton looks like the perfect holiday town on New Zealand's west coast, with sunny skies, breathtaking landscapes and visitors eager to make new friends. Beneath that polish, a string of young men has died, and the community seems determined to move on quickly.

Keri, a quick-witted narrator, is still reeling from the suicide of her older brother. When she learns that her friends have lost brothers in circumstances that don't add up, she and the other younger siblings begin asking questions nobody wants answered. Told in the first person, the story follows Keri as her grief turns into suspicion.

As the investigation deepens, the teens uncover secrets hidden within Summerton, and the search for the truth places them in serious danger. The book is written for secondary school readers.
