Audrey of the Outback (Christine Harris and Ann James) celebrates the young girl, and feisty hero - Audrey Barlow. Living in one of Australia's most desolate regions, Audrey has time to think deeply about life, and about the questions that matter to her - for example: whether life would be less lonely and more fulfilling had she lived elsewhere, or had been born someone else? As ‘growing up’ beckons, and more questions evolve, Audrey makes the beautiful and timely discovery, that friends are never truly far away when needed most (even in the outback). Young readers will become inspired by the warmth, wonderings and beauty of young Audrey, as she attempts to make sense of her changing world.
