Description:
Brilliant in construct, compelling and extraordinarily moving, this is a book that speaks to each of us and reminds us that while we mightn't be refugees, we are all newcomers to this country and that everyone has a story worth hearing.
When a boat carrying a group of asylum seekers is sunk by a freak wave, Faris wakes from the shipwreck in an Australia he's always dreamed of. There are kangaroos grazing under orange trees and the sky is always blue.
On a nearby beach, Faris meets a group of young people who have come from far different times and places. They are also seeking refuge, and each has their own story of why they had to leave their own country to make a new life for themselves.
It is only when Faris chooses to return to 'real life' and find his father in Australia that he learns the extraordinary truth about the friends he made in the golden beach.From one of Australia's best-loved authors comes a remarkable story about Australia's long history of migration and the people who make up our country.

Very good. I liked the funny part about medieval France being stinky and overall cesspit.

Another great one by Gibbs!
Format: Paperback
Great read! I have yet to be disappointed by a Stuart Gibbs book. However, unlike all the others I've read by him, it was a lot less of a mystery, and a lot more of a adventure. Nothing wrong with that, though. I definitely recommend it and can't wait to read the next one!
