The popular Australian author behind the collections }Unbelievable!{ and }Unreal!{ as well as the }Round The Twist{ TV series draws on his childhood experiences of migration to Australia, and his later experiences of teaching at a juvenile detention centre. This is ideal fare for reluctant readers, with themes of loss, migration, disability and survival Anton escapes from an orphanage and successfully stows away on a boat headed for the land of 'sunshine and steaks'. A heartbreaking and heartwarming tale of loss, guilt, mistaken identity and risk-taking, migration, resilience and courage. Perfect for reluctant readers in upper primary and lower secondary. Beautifully illustrated by Geoff Kelly.
