Tiff and the Trout by David Metzenthen, Puffin Books, Camberwell, Victoria, 2004
This is
an Australian novel where a young girl Tiff, lives in paradise (Tilgong) in the
Snowy Mountains. She loves skiing and trout fishing and the company of Cass,
her best friend. However, when her parents suddenly break up, the family is
thrown into turmoil and paradise doesn't seem so appealing any more.
The
story is very readable with action-packed chapters and the plot is credible,
accurately reflecting the roller coaster of emotions that Tiff and her brother
are experiencing. A very useful novel for motivating discussion about
contentious family issues.
