4th and final in the quartet of novels that began with Bridie’s Fire. In this one Maeve is best friends with 2 girls, a great dancer and is hoping to go with her Mum to Hong Kong later in the year. She has a new baby halfbrother and father (she never knew her Irish Dad) and life is perfect until her mother is suddenly killed in a car accident. (This was a big shock to me reading this book- I didn’t see it coming!) Her Chinese grandparents try to take her away but in the end she lives at boarding school so she can still see her friends and her halfbrother. She discovers her father’s identity and as luck would have it gets to meet him on a camp to Ireland. Nice neat end to a great series.
