'Meet Wylah: warrior, hero and friend. Her adventures have been 40,000 years in the making!

'Wylah is brave, clever and strong-willed, and all her best friends are giant megafauna animals.

'But she isn't a warrior. Not yet, anyway.

'Then comes the day when her family is stolen by the dragon army, and her life is forever changed. She must find the courage to set out on a journey to save them.

'What will it take for Wylah to become a warrior, like her Grandmother before her?

'Introducing an unforgettable cast of characters, Wylah: The Koorie Warrior is a heart-stopping and imaginative adventure, inspired by First Nation's history and grounded in culture.'
