Judges: "A poignant story of a family coming to terms with a terrible loss."
When the good-looking boy with the American accent presses the dropped negative into Rowan's hand, she's sure it's all a big mistake. But next moment, he's gone, lost in the crowd of bustling shoppers. These days, Rowan pretty much looks after her little sister single-handedly - which doesn't leave much time for friends or fun. So when she finds out that Bee from school saw the whole thing, it piques her curiosity. Who was the boy? Why was he so insistent that the negative belonged to Rowan? And what will the negative reveal...?
