'Yirra's Mum's sick of vacuuming up fur balls, the neighbours are fed up with having their undies nicked from the clothesline, and her Step-Dad just wants his slippers back.

'If Yirra doesn't find a dog-trainer soon, she'll have to give her beloved Demon to a new family - one who likes dogs who run and dig a lot. Bursting with energy and madcap fun, Yirra and Her Deadly Dog, Demon gives young readers a contemporary view of urban Indigenous life in Sydney.' (Publisher's blurb)
