She lives in a drought- stricken town with her mum and younger brother Oliver, who is autistic.</p><p>Oliver's meltdowns are making life unbearable. He needs so many different kinds of therapy that there's never any time--or money--left over for swimming lessons. Tilly knows Oliver's needs have to come first, but it's hard feeling invisible all the time.</p><p>When Mum announces they are moving to the Queensland coast, Tilly is excited at the thought of finally learning to swim-- even snorkel! But she is also worried. The thing about Oliver is, he can't cope with even the tiniest of changes to his routine.</p><p>It isn't long before the cracks begin to show. Could so many changes all at once threaten to shatter the whole family?</p>
