Book description
The pressure builds for Kia, Georgie, Micki and Ace in the sequel to J.
C. Burke s acclaimed novel Starfish Sisters. 'Starfish who surf
together stick together ...' It was Ace who wrote that in Kia, Georgie
and Micki's blue booklets on the last day of camp. Yet it's Ace who's
ended up ruining everything - ending the Starfish Sisters before they've
even begun. The Starfish Sisters should be happy that they're on track
to make the Australian Junior Female Surfing Team. But will lies,
secrets, fighting - and love - keep them apart? J. C. Burke was born
in Sydney in 1965, the fourth of five sisters. With writers for parents,
she grew up in a world of noise, drama and books, but she decided to
become a nurse after her mother lost a long battle with cancer. Since
Burke started writing in 1999, she has published a number of acclaimed
books for teenagers and young adults, including Children's Book Council
Notable Books White Lies and The Red Cardigan, Aurealis Awards finalist
Nine Letters Long, The Story of Tom Brennan, Faking Sweet, Starfish
Sisters, Ocean Pearl and Pig Boy. The Story of Tom Brennan won the 2006
CBC Book of the Year - Older Readers and the 2006 Australian Family
Therapists Award for Children's Literature. It is currently on the NSW
HSC syllabus list. Jane lives in Sydney with her family.
