Book 1 of The Chaos, The Coast and Us
What if the moments that shape us are the ones we almost don't notice?
Chloe is in Year Six, and there are only fifty-one days left until the end of primary school.
Between hot chocolates at The Sandbar Café, friendship dramas, reflection projects, the Year Six formal and the countdown to high school, Chloe is beginning to realise that growing up isn't one big moment-it's a hundred small ones.
At home on Sydney's Northern Beaches, life is busy and full of its own rhythms. Noah notices the details everyone else misses. Isla brings chaos, laughter and unexpected wisdom to every day. And Mum somehow keeps everything moving, even when life feels bigger than any one person can manage.
Set against the beaches, cafés and schoolyards of coastal Sydney, Before Everything Changed is a heartfelt middle-grade novel about family, friendship, change and finding meaning in ordinary days.
Perfect for readers aged 9-12 who enjoy realistic stories about growing up, belonging and the people who shape our lives.
