The Melling family has moved from Wilgawa to the city suburb of Lacey’s Bay. There’s a new school, a new place to live and new friends to make - this is exciting, but also terrifying, especially when the first potential friend Vivienne meets is large, bold and threatening. The Sky in Silver Lace is the third and final book in the Melling Sister’s Trilogy, Robin Klein’s humorous and heartwarming tale of four girls - Grace, Heather, Cathy and Vivienne -growing up in the Australia of the 1940's.
About the Author
Robin Klein was born 28 February 1936 in Kempsey, New South Wales into a family of nine children. Leaving school at age 15, Klein worked several jobs before becoming established as a writer, having her first story published at age 16. She would go on to write more than 40 books, including Hating Alison Ashley (adapted into a feature film starring Delta Goodrem in 2005), Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (adapted into a television series for the Seven Network in 1992), and Came Back to Show You I Could Fly (adapted into a film directed by Richard Lowenstein in 1993).
Klein's books are hugely celebrated, having won the CBCA Children's Book of the Year Award in both the Younger Readers and the Older Readers categories, as well as a Human Rights Award for Literature in 1989 for Came Back to Show You I Could Fly. Klein is widely considered one of Australia's most prolific and beloved YA authors.
Industry Reviews
`The Melling sisters - like Alcott's March sisters and Austen's Bennett sisters - are a quartet of girls who become women during the course of tribulation.' -- Alice Pung
`The schemes and shenanigans of these vibrant, tenacious characters are as lively and funny as ever, their more poignant feelings as skillfully suggested. A fine sequel.' * Kirkus Reviews *
