Jaz is fourteen and lives on Palm Island. When her mother tells her that she will be going to boarding school after the summer holidays, she is upset and confused. Part of her wants to go and part of her doesn't. But before she knows it, she's getting off the plane in Toowoomba and being welcomed to her new school. It's all so different: there's no beach, there're uniforms and rules, and there're hundreds of other kids, most of them white, and she can't seem to make herself understood when she talks to them. How will she cope?
