AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Silent, desperate, on the run. To set things right, he'll have to be as game as Ned Kelly.

Ned is a teenager with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Australian bushrangers. He is also autistic. Erin is a sixteen-year-old trouble-magnet trying to make a fresh start in a new town. Ned never speaks. Erin rarely stops - and when she stands up to a bully the consequences are catastrophic. Now Ned's on the run, branded 'disturbed and dangerous' by police. To set things right, he'll need to be as game as Ned Kelly...'
