About this title

Review:

" Lowry' s Australian lingo, lyrical descriptions, likeable characters, and creative format are sure to be an instant hit with teens." - "Kirkus"
" This Australian import has a delightful tranquility that persists all the way to a realistic, satisfying ending. An unassuming, charming book." - "Booklist"
" Lowry describes Australian land- and seascape in colorful detail. Her prose is crisply observant in some places, stream-of-consciousness in others, and full of British/Aussie humor and one-liners. This is a romantic, entertaining, and thoughtful novel." - "School Library Journal"
" [An] artfully constructed novel... readers will likely be captivated by Lowry' s playful narrative style, and they will easily empathize with most of the characters, from the free-spirited protagonists to the parents who worry over them." - "Publishers Weekly"
" A quirky kaleidoscope of skilled writing... [a] special book." - "Voya"
