Review Detail

You don't have to be Australian to appreciate this story. Written in the style of the classics, this novel follows the life of young man Kipp and his developing relationship with girl-next-door Jane. When he isn't at home doing chores for his aging grandparents, Kipp is down at the local abandoned mines, exploring with his faithful dog Nip. But when Jane follows Kipp one night, a young love begins to blossom as they share the adventure together. Kipp is reluctant to allow a girl into his world at first, but Jane soon proves she is every bit as capable. This tale is full of mystery, adventure and even danger, with a sensitively told story, that will have you laughing one minute and in tears the next.
