Imagine yourself in my shoes. Imagine being 18-years-old, and in just 24 hours the world you knew stopped existing.
Imagine being a teenager and learning all these skills that were designed for one purpose - to kill others.
Growing up in Communist Croatia (then part of Yugoslavia), Mario Bekes witnessed a lot of social unrest - before finding himself in the middle of the Croatian War of Independence.
Mario's world quickly turned upside down. One morning he woke to a knock at the door. His family and his girlfriend were gone. His neighbours were packing, fleeing the city. And the military were at his door, saying, 'Report at the army barracks in one hour.'
Minutes later, the city was being shelled - and Mario was off to fight in a war he'd never chosen.
Over the next few years he'd experience the horrors of war first hand - witnessing sheer destruction, death, suffering and broken hearts right in front of him.
When Poppy Picker keeps putting her finger up her nose, we know it won't end well.
Her parents are disgusted, her teachers upset and her friends grossed out.
She's been warned about the Booger Monster many times. But will she listen before it's too late?
Gabby has been living with her brother, Raphi, in their grandmother's wildlife sanctuary at the edge of the bush. While Raphi has thrown himself into life at the sanctuary ever since their parents went missing and their grandmother became their reluctant caregiver, Gabby longs to return to the city. Somehow they all must find a way to get along while caring for injured animals. Amid a daily routine of feeding, nursing, and releasing a menagerie of wild creatures, the siblings must attend a new school. To make matters worse, local authorities are determined to shut down the sanctuary. After Gabby secretly befriends a foster kid on the run, everything becomes more complicated when a bush fire threatens the sanctuary and her new friend. Now Gabby needs to decide whether to reveal her friend's whereabouts or risk losing her forever. In this novel for young readers, two orphaned siblings living on a sanctuary outside the Australian bush must find their way in a complicated world full of challenges.
