Swashbuckler trilogy
‘This exciting pirate adventure … introduces a fiesty young heroine called Lily Swann… Ocean Without End is a rollicking, action packed yarn sure to captivate young readers.’
- New Zealand Herald
‘All the romance of the exotic, in the great Victorian tradition of swashbuckling adventure, is here writ large… There must still be room in a curriculum where often literature is bent to pedagogic and ideological ends, to revel in an adventure of ‘otherness’, to weave a tale about an exotic past replete with characters both eccentric and mysterious.’
- Talespinner(NZ)/Reading Time (Aust)
Jobi Murphy’s arresting design and distinctive blackline illustrations, as well as some entertaining little visual touches, raise this book well above the ordinary.’
- Adelaide Advertiser
‘A great Aussie bush version of Christmas. A cracking story, bold illustration and a feel-good ending makes this a great gift for someone interested in an Aussie kind of Christmas tale.’
