Brumby Plains (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'A great Australian yarn for upper primary readers, BRUMBY PLAINS would be a good choice for promotion in libraries or serial reading in classrooms before the December/January holidays... Joanne Van Os knows the country and lifestyle thoroughly and evokes both using authentic details throughout the action... The plot is suspenseful and not entirely predictable even to the sophisticated reader. Country children will recognise some of their experiences and attitudes while urban readers will dream of the freedom and the opportunity to develop adult skills early in life enjoyed by their outback peers. A good read in the tradition of bush adventures by Joan Phipson, Nan Chauncy and Patricia Wrightson.' MAGPIES

Autorenporträt

Joanne van Os was born in 1955, and grew up in Melbourne. Her first book, OUTBACK HEART, is a best-selling memoir about life with her first husband, the 'Real Crocodile Dundee' Rod Ansell, mustering wild cattle and buffalo and living a 19th century lifestyle in remote parts of the Northern Territory, and his tragic end in 1999. She followed this book with three children's novels, all set in the far north of Australia and written for the 10 - 14 age group. She lives with her husband Lex Silvester on a yacht in Darwin, NT, and continues to write. Her most recent novel, THE SECRET OF THE LONELY ISLES, was published in February 2011.
