"I think I am in shock and I'm almost too scared to write in my diary because then it would mean what happened today was true and I don't want it to be true ..."
Anyone would think Maddy's world had crumbled when she didn't get a cell phone for her eleventh birthday. But Maddy soon has far more important things to worry about. In the dark of night, with a terrifying rumble and a deafening roar, the world turns upside down! Suddenly words like 'liquefaction', 'aftershocks' and 'state of emergency' bubble to the surface of her vocabulary.
As Maddy navigates the bumps and crashes of life after the big quakes, she discovers how strong family ties can be, and finds friendship in the most unlikely of places.
