Border Line

Cassie’s father decides to move the family to Eucla which is a long way from anywhere as he accepts a position which involves keeping Western Australia free from the invasive starling birds. Cassie is left struggling to cope with the isolation and the fact that her father is involved in killing birds. She gradually finds friendship and an acceptance of her new way of life. A very informative book with unobtrusive facts regarding the dangers of feral invasion interlaced in the storyline and a gentle handling of the issue of racism. Suitable for readers aged 11+.
