Bella is in Year 8 and has spent her entire life in a wheelchair. A field trip to a museum and a project on the extinct Tasmanian Tiger starts her thinking about her father ( and why he abandoned her as a young baby), her step-father and her mother and baby brother. She also befriends an elderly neighbour who opens her eyes to some truths about life.
