THE LONG WALK by Kerry Greenwood
 |
What do you do when your mother falls ill with TB and is sent to a rest home where she must stay for a long time? How do you survive when the only things you have are the clothes on your back and the promise you made to keep your family together? For Isa Wyatt, there's only one thing she can do. She gathers together her brothers and her sister, packs an old pram with their belongings, and sets off to find her father who is away working on the Great Ocean Road. It is a long walk, and the children have to face the dangers and hardships of a country in 1931 suffering from the Depression. The Long Walk is a compelling story of a young girl and her desperate attempt to keep her siblings from being split up and placed in orphanages. It is a story of courage, love, the nobility of spirit and, above all, the will to survive. |
