Every Sparrow Falling Av Shirley-Anne Mcmillan

<p><b><i>''Be nice to the majority of people and they won''t bother you much. Don''t get too involved. Have a laugh but keep your distance.'' </i></b><br><br>These are the words 16-year-old Cariad lives by. She''s just been placed in yet another foster home, this time with an elderly Christian couple in a small town off the coast of Northern Ireland.<br><br>Cariad knows how to play this game. She''ll toe the line <i>just</i> enough that her new foster parents don''t ask what she gets up to when the sun goes down, just enough that they leave her alone. It''s easier that way. <br><br>But when a boy at school disappears - presumed dead - and no one seems to care, it really bothers her. Then one night out walking on the clifftops, she sees him and he asks her to keep his secret. <br><br><b><i>Don''t get too involved. Have a laugh but keep your distance</i></b><b>.</b> These are the words Cariad has lived by . . . until now.</p>
