Description
This year life is changing for Arkie. For one thing, her best friend, Kylie, is somehow not quite her best friend any more. Then, at school everyone is getting ready to move on to high school. At home her mother and step-father seem just the same, her younger step-brother just as irritating, Headley the dog still crazy about food, and the lonely boy from down the road still desperate for her company. But even at home perhaps things are changing too?
Or perhaps it is Arkie who is changing - seeing people in a different way as she records their lives with her new camera, and realizes that people are more complicated and more interesting than she used to think they were.
This story of a girl's life in a modern Australian city is realistic and often funny.
