Off the Track

By Cristy Burne

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. From the author of To the Lighthouse comes a new adventure for young readers about falling in love with the bush, hiking, and being in the wild.
