[Georgia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great quick read. Took just over 2 hours to read. Really like how it is set in outback Australia and also has kangaroos.

Really sweet story about finding your place in life and trying to fix past mistakes. Can’t wait to see the movie. While this is a kids book and a very quick read for an adult it’s a beautiful story.
