Book review: The song walker – Zillah Bethell
This book was recently shortlisted for the Yoto Carnegie book awards 2024.
This book is about a girl who finds herself stranded in the Australian outback, with no memory of herself. This novel follows her journey of travelling the outback, making friends and rediscovering herself.
I would recommend this book for children aged between 10–13.
It took me a while to get into, but once I got into the book, I found it a very good read. I liked how it used the some words from the Australian first nation’s language, and had a glossary at the front, as it made the book more interesting. I would rate this book 7 out of 10.
