I loved this book in my early teens. The main character goes through losing her .other to cancer and adjusting to a step family. She has bullies at school. Set in Australia with a dog as her companion.
Was extremely helpful to me as a teen as I dealt with my parents divorce and remarriage, family members passing away etc. Prefect for young women dealing with family issues

Valley under the Rock is, I suppose, a young adult novel but there was enough here to keep me interested.

Zoe Brahe is a 14 year old girl who has just had her first sexual encounter. Sean said he would call her the next day but he didn't. Now she is away on holidays with her mother and brother in their family cottage in Megalong (an Aboriginal word meanind valley under the rock). She is miserable and even more upset when one of her mother's waif comes for a few days. Connie is brash and much too prone to use the word cute but she has had a tough life. Nevertheless, Zoe is determined to not like her. Connie makes a difference in everyone's lives and so do the other visitors, Anna and Tamara, who are Russian. Tamara is devastated to learn that a coup has taken place in Russia and she is determined to fly back to her family right away. The effects these people have on Zoe is profound and she even learns new things about her mother.

I loved the description of the Mermaid's Cave, an ancient place favoured by the Aboriginals. Maybe some day I'll visit the Valley under the Rock.

The story talks about Shane who is making his way home with the strange sounds and bright lights of the big city. He first runs into a stray cat that spits and hisses at him. He ends up deciding to take the cat home with him. Shane runs into many obstacles on his way home, but nothing will stop him from getting his new cat to his house.
