COMING BACK
David Hill

'This is a fine book for young adults who want to learn how to drive. It makes clear how quickly things can go wrong and never be right again.'                                                                     

'David Hill has ably assumed the persona of the contemporary teen. Despite its subject matter, this is a novel about hope, about budding romantic attachments, about developing one's talents, and above all,  about supporting others.Recommended.                                                             

A moving and compelling story of recovery, told by one of New Zealand's foremost children's writers.
