Local DescriptionIn this debut young adult novel, we follow Reece as she tries to build a new life in a beachside town called Hamilton following "the terrible thing that happened". Hamilton is also where Reece's grandmother lived, and when Reece inherits a strange object from her nan's medical career, questions are raised about what sort of person she really was. Clever and heartwarming! Reviewed by Charlotte. DescriptionA humorous, beautifully observed YA novel about overcoming grief amid the vulnerability of high school relationships. I didn't always live here. Not so long ago I was living in a thriving metropolis with more than one coffee shop on each block and four full bars of reception. I went to Heathmont High School, home to one thousand students, two best friends, a deeply average orchestra, and one cursed statue. Well, allegedly. Reece still isn't used to living in the small beachside town of Hamilton- she misses her old school, her old friends and her old life. She can't go back and she can't move forward- nothing feels right anymore. Not that she's trying very hard-she hasn't even unpacked yet, and the only new friend she's made is a middle-aged barista. But when Reece inherits a strange artefact that belonged to her beloved grandmother, she begins to unravel a mystery that might change the way she feels about everything around her, including her charismatic classmate Gideon... A lively, witty novel about letting go of the past and finding your place in the world, The Museum of Broken Things introduces a dazzling new voice in contemporary fiction. |
