Notes

241 pages New Zealand author Summary: It's another hospital trip in the witching hours for Sylvie, as part of the support crew for her crazy sister, Calamity Cate. An overdose, this time. As usual, it seems like the family is so caught up in all of Cate's drama that Sylvie goes unnoticed. Invisible. Always coming in second. Not anymore. After a makeover, a friendship breakdown, and a whole lot of pizza, Sylvie starts to get noticed, but by the wrong people. That's when things unravel with painful consequences. Visibility, Sylvie discovers, is not about how other people see you, but how you see yourself. (Publisher)

Some resources may present confronting/sensitive issues that may not be deemed appropriate for all readers. Such material is often used within wide reading requirements for thematic studies. Where deemed necessary these items will be tagged accordingly and will be catalogued with discretionary borrower restrictions.

Sylvie the second deals with suicide and self harm, so reader maturity needs to be considered.
