One Way Ticket

Meg was born and raised in Canada but after her mother's death, her New Zealand father longs to return home. Each year, as winter approaches, her father brings up the idea of spending Christmas in the sunshine. This year is no exception so Meg isn't surprised when the subject comes up and presumes that, as in previous years, it will pass. But not this time. This time her grandparents in New Zealand have sent one-way tickets and the move is definitely on. Meg is horrified and resents the fact that her opinion is not being taken into account. She starts a new school year in New Zealand full of anger - and the friends she makes suit her mood. Before she realises it, she is shop-lifting and wagging school. Her life is in chaos and completely out of control.
