When Koa Smith is sent to live in Australia with her insane Aunt Maryanne, whom she hardly knows, she truly believes that it's pretty much the end of all happiness. School sucks, the neighborhood sucks, she can't keep a positive view on anything except for morning jogs on the boardwalk, and Ralph, her Aunt's German Shepard. The only thing she wants is to go back to Canada.
That is, until she meets Calum, the boy next door.
From the moment she meets him, Koa knows that he is the fun she has been waiting for.
