The Drongo Line, Book 1, Katherine Clater of the OutbackBy Nashua Helmsman, James S. DavisDescription:What difference can one 11-year-old girl make? Katherine Clater lives on an isolated cattle station in Australia's outback, and barely knows 200 people. Starting a video channel with her friends Lance and Moxie, she begins reviewing books written by a cutting-edge political theorist. Suddenly, thousands of people are following the earnest little blond girl from the desert. Can her efforts help the people of Australia earn freedom, or will there be an unprecedented civil war? Book Takeaway:But are you free? Why the author wrote this book:I began writing The Drongo Line because I wanted to show what a national revolution could look like in modern times. I also asked myself, what could one child do to influence the direction of her entire nation? |
