4.0

This is the 2nd or 3rd junior fiction verse novel I have read and I really enjoyed it. The story is written from the perspective of an 11-year old girl going about her days at school and home during bushfire season. I could picture every scene and even imagine the smells and textures of the things described. I felt that the inclusion of Gundugurra words also added to the importance of the message within the story. It’s superbly written and would be a great pick for avid upper primary readers who want something a little different than the typical chapter book to read.
