The Comet Box by Adrian Stirling




This book is set in 1986, the year that Halley's Comet was hurtling towards earth. It is a novel that looks into what lies beneath the Australian suburban dream and what happens in one suburban area. When Andrew's class are asked to each put their wish into the Comet Box, Andrew wishes that his runaway sister would return home. As the comet gets closer to Earth and Andrew begins to learn the truth behind his sister's actions, he begins to wonder if he wants his wish to come true after all. A confronting teen read.
