✦ Synopsis

"I don't know where we came from. Several times when it had seemed important to know, I had tried asking, but mum never really answered." Eleven year old Steven is curious about his past. When he hears a stranger's name, odd memories come back to him. A large house. Being left on the side of the road. But does he really want to remember everything?__

Remembering can be risky in Change the Locks , an unforgettable junior fiction novel by multi-award-winning Australian author Simon French. This novel deals with family issues, belonging and acceptance. In 1992 it was an Honour Book at the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Awards and winner of the Australian Family Therapists' Award for Children's Literature.
