Bertie frets about leaving her comfort zone and being unprepared for what’s to come. Bertie’s parents have saved up so she can attend ‘a posh private school in the city’ but all Bertie’s friends will be at the local high school in Merri, the regional town where she lives. Eleven-year-old Bertie is a shy daydreamer who is nervous about the future and uncertain of her place in the world.
