Critically injured in a motorbike accident, Zara Wilson lies in a coma. She is caught between many worlds: the world of her hospital room and anxious family, and that of her memories and a dream-like fantasy where she searches for her brother Jem. Jem proves elusive but Zara's adventures in her subconscious unlock dark secrets of a troubled childhood. Zara must face up to her past in order to accept her future. A novel that blends, mystery, family life and the subconcious into an interesting story. About the Author

Her children's books range from early readers through to YA novels - two of which have been finalists for the New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children & Young Adults. Elizabeth has always loved books. In fact some of her best friends are books and she couldn't imagine life without them. Her previous titles with Walker Books are Castlecliff & the Fossil Princess, Blackthorn, Blackthorn's Betrayal and Tussock, which was a finalist in the New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards, Junior Fiction category, 2011.
