Storms
Phoebe Wilby
A journey of ten thousand miles begins with a single step, but for Annie Ryan and her siblings, it began with a trampoline. What follows is a funny, sometimes heart-breaking, but always heart-warming story of one young girl’s endeavour to stay ahead of the storms – both physical and emotional.
Eight-year-old Annie Ryan and her siblings are promised a trampoline for Christmas, but receive a Kingswood, a caravan, and a trip around Australia instead.
Leaving their home in Brisbane, Australia, at the height of the 1974 floods during intense cyclonic weather, the Ryans set off on their epic journey, traveling ahead of the storms everywhere they go.
But storms of the heart are more difficult to navigate, and Annie faces more tragedy and heartache in this one year than a young girl should in a lifetime.
Award-winning author, Phoebe Wilby, was raised in Australia. She has lived in several countries, including New Zealand, and considers herself a ‘citizen of the world’.
Storms is her debut novel, following two short story collections and a memoir.
