Lyla has just started her second year of high school when a magnitude
6.3 earthquake shakes Christchurch to pieces. Devastation is everywhere.
While her police officer mother and trauma nurse father respond to the
disaster, Lyla puts on a brave face, opening their home to neighbors and
leading the community clean-up. But soon she discovers that it's not
only familiar buildings and landscapes that have vanished--it's friends
and acquaintances too. As the earth keeps shaking day after day, can
Lyla find a way to cope with her new reality?
