TRADE EDITION: The night the first wild child was captured, I was woken from my sleep by the sound of car doors slamming. I opened my eyes, lights were flashing across the ceiling of my bedroom. I sat up at once, and there, holding aside the lace curtain of my window, was my sister Julia. 'They've caught one,' I whispered. 'Haven't they?' She took her hand from the curtain and turned away. 'They get all of us sooner or later,' she said. Then she vanished into the darkness of the hall. "Perhaps Australia's most literary and compelling writer for young people." - Maurice Saxby, Magpies "A master story-teller." - Reading Time
