Author: Williams, Rhiannon
An enchanting new adventure. An unforgettable land. And the perfect read for young fans of Kate DiCamillo and Karen Foxlee; by beloved Australian author Rhiannon Williams.
Dusty has grown up hearing whispers about her mysterious aunt Meg; who went off to live ‘out wild' and never returned. Yet Dusty's father refuses to discuss what happened – and her only clue is a photograph of her aunt as a young girl with a strange; monkey-like creature on her shoulder.
But when Dusty learns that her family's beloved bushland property might be sold; she's convinced that only Meg could stop it happening. So Dusty sets off to find her … and that's when she discovers what ‘out wild' really means.
The Outwilds are beguiling. Dangerous. And full of creatures Dusty half-remembers from old bedtime stories – beautiful; but deadly. Is Meg still out there? And even if she is; how will Dusty bring her home?
Bursting with fantastical creatures and starring a bold young girl determined to uncover the truth; this thrilling fantasy-adventure is destined to be a modern classic. Written by Rhiannon Williams; author of the beloved Narroway trilogy; this stand-alone hardback features stunning illustrations by Martina Heiduczek and is the perfect gift for readers aged 9+.
