The Melling family has moved from Wilgawa to the city suburb of Lacey’s Bay. There’s a new school, a new place to live and new friends to make—this is exciting, but also terrifying, especially when the first potential friend Vivienne meets is large, bold and threatening. The Sky in Silver Lace is the third and final book in the Melling Sisters Trilogy, Robin Klein’s humorous and heartwarming tale of four girls—Grace, Heather, Cathy and Vivienne—growing up in the Australia of the 1940s.

Avowed enemies Mary-Anna and Sandra, whose mothers are best friends, find their relationship transformed during an outing to the city, when the two girls are separated from the adults and they must depend on each other for safety.

Eine Familie vom Planeten Zyrgon muss eine Weile auf der Erde Zuflucht suchen. X, Familienorganisatorin und verantwortlich für alle, muss sich eine Menge einfallen lassen, damit sie nicht auffallen.

Nach der Heirat ihrer Tante mit dem Mitglied einer Sekte gibt es für die zwölfjährige Francis keine Freiheit mehr. "Niemand darf dich hören", besagen die Regeln, weil nur die Sektenmitglieder den nächsten Krieg überleben werden und niemand wissen darf, dass Kinder wie Gefangene in einem Haus gehalten werden. Francis, die die Freiheiten des Lebens gekannt hat, kann sich nur schwer einordnen. Sie versucht es zwar aus Dankbarkeit ihrer Tante gegenüber immer wieder, aber auch aus Angst vor den Folgen des Ungehorsams. Schliesslich gelingt ihr die Flucht. Äusserst spannendes und beeindruckendes Buch zum Thema "Sekten". (Quelle: Verzeichnis ZKL).
