Product description
Review
This is a well-written and compelling Junior/YA novel likely to appeal to children, particularly boys, who like adventure and have an interest in history. Its themes of racism and bigotry are as universal and relevant as ever, and are likely to resonate with Australian youth today, given the multi-cultural country we live in. --Robyn Bavati
