Fifteen-year-old Neil and his parents have come from Adelaide, hoping to strike it lucky, but the gold is elusive. Then the American Ivan and his daughter Kittyy arrive. They are mysterious, aloof. Soon the rumours spread: Ivan killed a man; Kitty helped him rob banks. Neil is drawn to them despite the rumours. But Kitty saw him shoot the Apostle bird. How can he convince her that it was an accident? Tensions come to a head when a digger is found dead, his gold missing. Angry miners form a mob to hunt the Americans down. Neil knows the nearby creeks and scrubland. He can lead Ivan and Kitty to safety ? if they let him. The Apostle Bird is an evocatively written and compelling study of prejudice, honour and courage.* This is a GOOD copy with some reading and shelf wear.*
