Rock Steady

Samantha Steadman, and her best friends smart-mouthed Jessie Delaney and politician’s daughter Nomusa Gule, are back at boarding school, in grade 9, and they are up against a whole new set of challenges. Their creepy new Science teacher – the Poison Dwarf - takes delight in tormenting Sam, and she’s started counting and checking everything in a way that has her friends worried about her sanity. Add to that Sam’s determination to uncover and stop the illegal trade in San rock art, a blossoming new romance (or two), and a dangerous survival competition in the mountains which will endanger the trio’s lives, and Sam will need all her wits and courage to stand steady.

The eco-warriors are back in this funny, exciting sequel to Turtle Walk (which can also be read as a stand-alone book).. This time they aim to save the country’s invaluable rock art heritage, but along the way, they will discover that there are other things worth taking a stand for.

Suitable for readers in senior primary or junior high school.
