<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A young girl growing up in Outback South Australia in the 1930s. They family doesn't have much, and her father is often away, but Audrey has an extraordinary imagination, and despite having not other children her age to play with, her life is full of amazing ideas and dreams.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this story about identity and independence, the gutsy girl from the bush tries being a farmer, a man, a teacher, and a pirate--all with dire consequences!</b></b>Audrey is a 1930s outback girl with a lot on her mind. Her dad has gone away to work; her brother Price thinks he's too old for games; and little Dougie likes pretending to be a bird. So together with her best friend Stumpy, Audrey ponders some of life's big questions--like whether being a swaggie (or bush traveler, as explained in the handy glossary) is lonelier than being a girl, and whether it's better to be a sheep or a cow. Determined, mischievous, imaginative, and inquisitive, Audrey is Australia's response to Pippi Longstocking and Ramona Quimby.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Full of fascinating detail about rural Australian life, this gentle story will appeal to fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series and Louise Erdrich's </i><i>The Birchbark House</i>. --<i>Booklist</i></p><br><br>Children will love the fast pace of the plot, and the character development gives the book a nice depth. --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Christine Harris</b> has written more than 35 books, ranging from picture books to YA thrillers.
