Set mostly in Cornwall, Sea Change is the story of a girl with a burning ambition which appears all set to realise itself until threatened by disruption in the family. Just when she thinks things will stay the same, life events change unpredictably. How is this reflected within the dynamics of a family? Peer relationships with schoolfriends, sporting ambitions and family trauma provide the backdrop to a dramatic seaside adventure and missing person mystery ... with a strong hint of the supernatural. Events at the end of the novel are quite distant from those at the beginning; however, the sustaining element throughout is the ambition of the heroine which demonstrates that persistence and dedication can lead to achievement and fulfilment. Suitable for KS3, but can be enjoyed by readers aged 7 to adult.
