Requirements: ePUB Reader, 470 Kb
Overview: Neema’s and Kate’s first day at Wentworth High begins poorly but gets much worse when they find out that their English teacher, the pale Ms. Dallimore, is notorious for challenging essay assignments. Ms. Dallimore assigns an essay with the topic "Who am I?" and gives class 7B a whole six weeks to think and write. Everyone calls Ms. Dallimore the Bride of Dracula. She wants her students to think, and imagine and "learn to fly " As time passes the cleverest girl in the class is reduced to tears; football jock Blocky Stevenson discovers the pleasure self examination for the first time and writes "I am a person with feelings"; Kate is sure she is a girl who hates her sister; while school custodian/dictator Mrs. Draynor is sufficiently moved by a student’s discarded attempt at the essay to reflect on her own past. For Neema, the extended stay of her Indian great grandmother, Kalpana, complicates the question. Nani has been dreaming of flying; skimming faster and faster, just above the ground. And now she’s ready to leave her village in India to visit her family in Australia. At first, things are awkward between Neema and Kalpana, Kalpana doesn’t speak English and Neema doesn’t speak Hindi, but when they meet "the flying boy," Gull Oliver, they both find something they’ve been looking for.
