Finalist in the New Zealand Post Book Awards Ryan has just got his licence. He's in the car with his mates. Tara likes to go running. She's on her way back home. Neither of them is paying much attention...The harrowing accident that follows impacts many lives. This is a moving and compelling story of recovery, told by one of New Zealand's foremost children's writers. David Hill has ably assumed the persona of the contemporary teen. ...despite its subject matter, this is a novel about hope, about budding romantic attachments, about developing one's talents, and above all, about supporting others. Recommended. Tailspinner Magazine
I just thought this was a sad tragic story, it brought a tear to my eye. It is a really great book and I will get my son to read it when he is old enough to drive, so that he learns.

‘Every teen should read this book before setting foot in a car. Come to think of it, most adults should too’. NZ Inspired Magazine‘This is a fine book for young adults who want to learn how to drive. It makes clear how quickly things can go wrong and never be right again. Yes, there’s a zeal behind it but it’s well written and that makes all the difference’. Classroom Magazine
