Becky always loved visiting her dad in New Zealand until she returns during the pandemic.
Now he’s got a baby with her new stepmum and everything has changed. Worse still, her windsurfer hasn’t arrived yet, so there’s nothing for her to do but wait for Mum who is stuck overseas.
Then Becky finds a strange stone at Whale Bay and her luck changes. She makes new friends, joins an environmental group, borrows a windsurfer, and has several close encounters with a bottlenose dolphin who simply won’t leave her alone.
But what is wrong with the dolphin? Is it trying to tell her something? Is it sick? And who are the people poaching fish from the marine reserve? How is it all connected? Becky must find a way to solve it all.
Just Keep Going is a story of blended families, new friendships, marine pollution, a magical stone, a persistent dolphin, and a young girl with a strong will to succeed, adapting to life in a new country.
Jessie wants it to stop. She’s had nothing but problems ever since she found a strange black stone at Whale Bay. She's been dumped by her best friend Hayley, and bullied by the new girl, Alexis, and the school year has only just begun!
Jessie blames the stone; it has special cultural significance, and too late Jessie discovers that if it is taken without permission it brings bad luck. It could even explain the strange dreams she's been having.
Then the worst thing ever happens. Alexis and Hayley bully Jessie online and everyone sees. What if they believe what they've read? Cyberbullying sucks. Especially when it happens to you.
Jessie must fix everything, but who can she trust? Will anything ever be the same again?

“Haven’t you heard about the virus?”
When her BFF asks this question at the bus stop, there was no way ten year old Emilia could know that the global pandemic of Covid-19 was about to turn her life upside down.
Based on true events, this story follows the journey of Emilia, who lives in South Korea with her teacher mother, where they both enjoy their international school community.
Life is wonderful until the rapidly spreading global pandemic of Covid-19 prompts her mother to take Emilia from her home in Korea to her home in New Zealand. Emilia’s life changes without warning and the range of heart wrenching feelings she experiences is overwhelming.
The transformational story of Emilia honestly expresses the pain and confusion of sudden transition from a child’s point of view and celebrates the comfort that family and community can provide. It honours the story of an everyday girl hero who could be your neighbour, classmate or relative.
