AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A diverse collection of poetry, short stories, song lyrics, novel extracts and illustrations from some of the most important creators today.

'This anthology for upper high school students follows on from the success of the collection Things a Map Won't Show You, which was aimed at younger readers. Susan La Marca and Pam Macintyre have gathered an exciting mix of original and pre-published works that cover themes of Indigenous issues, friendship, migrants in Australia, environmental impact, dystopia, sci-fi adventure and death.'
