review 1: This is a short read set in a small Australian town with a female protagonist. It delves into the concepts of racial discrimination, indigenous culture, beliefs and family as the lead character learns to settle in a new town with her mother. It is a mixture of the Dreaming with contemporary issues, reinforcing that everything that happens has an affect on everything to come. It is a story I will think about for a long while.
review 2: Very interesting and related to areas around where I live. I think the ending might have been a bit rushed - the fact that within 2 chapters they pushed one of the characters off the bike in a big fight and then in the last chapter they are all friends again seemed to be pushing the boundaries of common sense, but apart from that ... moreit was really a great read, and connected well with the Indigenous folk of our area. Definitely a candidate for a class reader :) less
