Description
By: Cristy Burne
City kid Harry is doomed to spend his weekend hiking with his phone-addict mum, her bossy bestie Ana, and Ana’s kid Deepika. But Harry discovers hiking’s not as bad as it sounds. Step by step, he and Deepika discover a new friendship – and a new confidence in the world around them.
From the author of To the Lighthouse comes a new adventure for young readers about falling in love with the bush, and with hiking and being in the wild. It’s about disconnecting from technology and discovering yourself.
Harry’s perfect life was straying way off-track. He looked pleadingly at Mum. Surely she could see? Spending an entire weekend tramping around stinking-hot, snake-filled scrub was a horrible mistake. But doing it without a phone? That was just brutal.
As it turns out, it was only the beginning ...
