High Tide

"The night before we left, my parents started in on all the good advice they could think of. I half-listened to most of it, nodding dutifully and wishing they'd give it a rest. As it turned out, they didn't come remotely close to the stuff that really would have been useful. But then they couldn't know any better than the rest of us what we'd really be up against."

Sam signs up for a school tramping trip - or rather, someone else signs her up. But she goes along, thinking it might be a laugh. None of the group has any idea what lies ahead - and it isn't just the weather and group dynamics that work against them.

This is a fast paced action story which, for all its adrenaline-building adventure, still takes time to explore the shifting loyalties and bonds within the group.

What the reviews say:
In the Herald Margie Thompson wrote: ‘This is great. Mackenzie has a terrific feeling for dramatic pace, and for the emotional and physical landscape her beleaguered teens are stumbling through.’

    My class is reading this at the moment, and I LOVE it so far! It's really scary and gripping at some places.

      Glad you're enjoying it. I loved writing it - I really got to know the characters so well I was sad to say goodbye to them when the story was done. Sometimes I'm asked to write a sequel. Which character would you like to hear more from?
