"Eva Fischer has moved to the top of the world—Cabramurra, the highest town in Australia. Eva feels on top of the world, too. Surrounded by people of every nationality, Eva makes new friends, and tries strange foreign food—like pizza.
Eva learns to ski and ride, and even learns that being half German maybe isn't so bad after all
But all around her, momentous things are happening. The Snowy Mountains Scheme is underway, huge dams have been built, tunnels constructed, homes abandoned, people lost...
"
