N2  - When Kate's father goes missing, family life is thrown into chaos. While the close rural community help the family deal with their grief, Kate lights a lamp every night in the window of the old tin hut on the hill in the hope that it will help her father find his way home. But it is the appearance of the troubled Troy that brings comfort to Kate in the most unexpected way. To Kate, Troy seems nearly as lost as her father, and the mystery surrounding him leads Kate into dangerous territory. Suggested level: primary, intermediate
