‘Mirror, mirror, on the grass, what’s my future? What’s my past? This colourful novel follows a girl, who dreams of being a world-famous artist, and her mother, who both have been on the run for the last sixteen years. The mother and daughter now reside in a community of displaced people beside the Brisbane River, where they call a 1987 Toyota HiAce van home. The daughter has no name because names are dangerous when the police are after you and your mother has left a knife in the throat of the monster in the kitchen. But the girl has a dream to achieve international acclaim for her artwork and to be free of the dark underbelly of Brisbane and the chokehold of drug queen, ‘Lady’ Flora Box.

You can tell Trent has poured his heart into every prose, leaving the reader appreciating each beautifully crafted sentence. The themes of this novel are dark, mysterious, creative, and above all magical.
