Review: Dancing on Rocks - Rose Senehi - June 2014

Growing up in smalltowns can be quite difficult for two reasons - one there is often not much happening and many feel destined that one day they will escape the boredom of the smalltown and do wonders , the other is that often smalltowns are simply quite small and everybody knows everybody and their business.  For Georgie, she had always dreamed of leaving the smalltown and she did when she got older and became a nurse and never looked back as the town also held bad memories of the past as when Georgie was younger , she was supposed to be looking after her younger sister Shelby when Shelby disappeared and the town believed that she had drowned and Georgie always blamed herself for the accident. Twenty years later, Georgie's mother has been in a motorbike accident and hurt herself and so Georgie has returned home to help out a bit with her mother's shop as her sister has children which she is busy with. Being back in town means though that Georgie must confront her past which means remembering what happened to her sister. Georgie's mother though has always believed that Shelby never died and that she is alive somewhere. Imagine though the shock when a girl turns up out of the blue claiming to be Shelby ? Where has she been all these years and what really happened that day twenty years ago ?

Dancing on Rocks reminded me of the book The Face on the Milk Carton crossed with the MTV Show Finding Carter with a hint of Steena Holmes's series Finding Emma. Dancing on Rocks is the perfect read for those fans of stories of children being missing and now found.
