When a family of Travelers sets up camp in Iris's family's paddock, Iris's dad and brother agree: the "Gypos" have to go. Iris, however, is fascinated by the family, especially the teenage boy, Trick, with whom she becomes fast friends. The characters are all sympathetically portrayed in this story that skillfully balances moments of introspection and action, loyalty and betrayal, happiness and heartbreak.
