Description
Life is already unfair for 15-year-old Mariana. Her father's missing and her activist mother is dead. Marooned with her grandparents in the cyclone-wrecked South Island, life is dominated by Carapace, a corrupt corporation.
When Mariana wears a red dress to her new school, she breaks an obscure rule and puts her family at risk. Mariana yearns to stand up for her friend Filiki, who's trapped in Carapace’s school-to-prison pipeline. Fear keeps her silent.
When Mariana finally speaks up, it’s to disastrous effect and puts everyone she loves in danger. As she confronts her fears, Mariana must make her voice heard—because this time it might change everything.
Truth Needs No Colour is a gripping tale of courage and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
