Title: The Sea Wreck Stranger
Author: Anna Mackenzie
Genre: New Zealand Literature
Book: 15/20
Ness, her brother Ty and their cousin Sophie live on a farm in a small island community. They have an infinity, repetitive list of chores and hardly ever get free time to themselves due to their strict Aunt Tilda and Uncle Marn. One day however all three of them were excused to go in search of new shoots and berries. Feeling content as they were free at least for an hour, they went down onto the beach. Sea wreck commonly gets washed up and that day was no exception. What they found though changed their lives for eternity, literally.
I really liked this book. Was a bit hard to get into at first as the author carried the descriptions etc on and on for pages. Once I reached the plot stirring up and such, it was quite interesting to see how Ness would get out of her inevitable future with the stranger from the sea. I rate it an 8/10.
