Description
Fifteen-year-old Emma is woken up by her dad's nightmares. Again.
On Friday evenings they go running at East Point Reserve to escape. Escape the ripples of grief that still chase them three years after her mum's death; escape Emma's autism diagnosis; escape her dad's work as an emergency room doctor.
At school, Emma has won a spot on the beach volleyball Sports Institute programme—the spot that her best friend Summer desperately wanted. And Summer's family are moving to the other side of town. Their friendship has kept Emma going since her mum's death but now things are changing between them and change isn't something Emma can outrun.
Set in tropical Darwin, White Noise is an achingly true portrayal of girlhood, grief, and autism from the authentic and gripping voice of debut author Raelke Grimmer.
