AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This is the story of a boy on a farm property in New South Wales, and his efforts to catch “crooks” who are trying to harm a friend of his. It is a brisk, exciting story and Mary Grant Bruce shows a competent grasp of schoolboy idiom here.'  (Publication summary)
