y separately published work icon The Bravest Word Newtown : Walker Books Australia , 2022 23819782 2022 single work children's fiction children's

'A rescue story of love and trust between a boy and a dog from the talented author of Paws.

'Do you hear that? You’re Cliff now, and your life is going to get better, I promise.

'When eleven-year-old Matt finds Cliff, a hurt, neglected dog abandoned in the bush, he knows the brave little pup needs saving. He wants to help. But can he?

'Lately, Matt has had way more bad days than good days. The pieces of his life just don’t seem to fit together any more and he doesn’t understand why. He's finding it impossible to concentrate at school and has lost interest in the activities he used to love. Plus, he’s tired all the time.

'Matt's too afraid to share what's really going on in his own head with anyone. His friends and family will never understand . . . maybe it's not only Cliff who needs saving.' (Publication summary)
