"I voted for Outback Odyssey because it surprised me. I expected an Australian historical adventure, but found a much more layered story about migration, identity and belonging. Jimmy doesn’t just travel to another country; he gradually realises that much of what he thought he knew about Australia was incomplete. I finished it wanting to know more about the real history behind the story, and that’s usually a sign that a book has worked for me."
