| Publisher Description: In this story about identity and independence, the gutsy girl from the bushtries being a farmer, a man, a teacher, and a pirate all with dire consequences 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, Audreyis Australia's response to Pippi Longstockingand Ramona Quimby." |
