Review
When a massive storm hits Skai’s town, she finds herself home alone. Soon her friends arrive and together they must look after each other as they wait to see how much damage has been done.
But it seems like the storm may only be the beginning of their problems, when they find out that the Maralinga nuclear plant has exploded, and created mutant animals as well as a fire.
The story ends on a knife edge, with Skai and her friends (and readers) left to see what will happen next!
This is the first book in a new graphic novel series that will suit readers in lower secondary and above. I’m sure readers will be very eagerly awaiting the next instalment!
