ROUND BEHIND THE ICE-HOUSE

The cover of 'Round Behind the Ice-house

'I'm not the only one with secrets.

Tom wants to get back into the past when he and his twin sister, Cass, were still so close. What are the secrets she is keeping from him?

Tom has to face the fact that as he and Cass grow up they have to grow apart. He may be her brother, but he doesn't own her and he never can.

What Anne Fine says about Round Behind the Ice-House:

Round Behind the Ice-House is my favourite, although no one else's, probably because it's the one that's so like me.


"A very real sense of menace as this unusual and original book races to its climax"
