Overview

The ecowarriors are back! Samantha Steadman, and her best friends -- smart-mouthed Jessie Delaney and politician's daughter Nomusa Gule -- are back at boarding school, in grade nine. And this year, they're up against a whole new set of challenges. Their creepy new science teacher takes delight in tormenting Sam, and she's started counting and checking everything in a way that has her friends worried about her sanity. Add to that Sam's determination to uncover and stop the illegal trade in San rock art, a blossoming new romance (or two), and a dangerous survival competition in the mountains which will endanger the trio's lives, and the girls will need all their wits and courage to stand steady. Exciting and funny, this feel-good story will appeal to tweens and younger teens. Rock Steady is the second book in the Ecowarriors series, but can also be read as a standalone novel.

Reviews

Praise for Rock Steady: Adventure, some clever online detective work, a couple of burgeoning romances, and school issues, all with a great environmental message, from a star South African YA author. Highly enjoyable with a good plot and high-tension climax! - Jayne Bauling (Multi-award-winning Young Adult author) Sam, Jessie and Nomusa navigate their Grade 9 year with all the usual trials and tribulations - sports events, school outings, boys, bullies and dances - and the banter between the three friends comes off incredibly refreshing and natural. It's not often that an author manages to express the sheer energy of teenagers, but Joanne Macgregor totally convinced me that she's secretly a teenager herself. Macgregor's teens are bubbly, sensitive and are possessed of a lively curiosity and sense of fun, who worry about their schoolwork, about boys, about issues at home. They feel real. A big thumbs up! -- Nerine Dorman (Editor and multi-published author)
