MY STORYSABOTAGE! The Diary of Rowan Webb, Auckland, 1985
By Sharon Holt - Scholastic - $16.99
The Rainbow Warrior was the flagship of the Greenpeace movement, when it was sunk by agents of the French Foreign Intelligence (DGSE), while anchored in Auckland harbour, on the 10th of July 1985.
In this My Story, 13-year-old Rowan Webb gets herself a French penpal, and unwittingly becomes involved in an event that shocks not only the nation – but the whole world. Another great story in the immensely popular My Story series from Scholastic, for 10+ years of age.
