Silent, desperate, on the run. To set things right, he'll have to be as game as Ned Kelly.
Ned is a teenager with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Australian bushrangers. He is also autistic. Erin is a sixteen-year-old trouble-magnet trying to make a fresh start in a new town. Ned never speaks. Erin rarely stops - and when she stands up to a bully the consequences are catastrophic. Now Ned's on the run, branded 'disturbed and dangerous' by police. to set things right, he'll need to be as game as Ned Kelly... 'A brilliant new Young Adult voice. I found this book compelling.' Susanne Gervay
