Coincidentally, the ranch has another new resident in the Nargun, an ancient and quite grumpy, um, boulder-like, thing. Oh, this one is so good. So. Good. A boy exploring the lovely nature all round him (which includes, delightfully, all sorts of creatures from Australian Aboriginal mythology), parental figures who are loving and absolutely lovable in their gruff-but-kind ways, and all of this set against the cool and relentless scariness of the Nargun. I absolutely love how the Dreamtime creatures are woven into the fabric of the surroundings in a way that makes them perfectly normal and not overly 'magical.' So, yes, a fabulous read in all sorts of ways. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
