Whistle Man

A sympathetic portrayal of the life of Ned Kelly, his family and followers as seen through the eyes of young Garrett Clancy who is caught up in Ned’s fight for justice for the Irish poor in the early years of European settlement in Australia. As Garrett matures from a teenager into a young man he makes his own life choices and these sometimes conflict with his loyalty to Ned. With a detailed plot this book leaves the reader with a strong impression of what it was like to live in those turbulent times. Will appeal to the more competent reader aged 12+
