Circle of Flight
John Marsden"You
jam on the brakes and stop the ute right at your front door. You jump
out. Not for the first time you run into a house that could be full of
guns, with death waiting for you. You don't even think of that until
you're crossing the threshold ... You already know what you're going to
find. Underneath the fear and horror and panic there's a cold
realization that Gavin's body will be somewhere in the house. You can
picture what those bullets will have done to his little body."
It is a time of profound change for Ellie Linton. Enemies are
everywhere. Some come crawling over the hills others drive in and knock
on the front door. Sometimes her friends are there and sometimes they
are not. Ellie fights every inch of the way. But when courage and
imagination are not enough, when she is trapped and helpless, Ellie must
face the end of life as she knows it ... standing alone, sustained only
by her own strength.
