Greater Glider Productions. 2002 79 pages pbk $11.00 | The main characters in this story are Emma, her annoying brother David, her friend Gordo and her parents. Emma`s mother often scanned the sky for a sign of a rain cloud. It was hot, sticky and horrible. Emma`s family was going through a terrible drought and their stock were dying out! Emma regularly struggled for ideas in which to make money, but unfortunately none of them succeeded. When Emma`s dad decides to plant a wheat crop, a swarm of locusts hit their property. All hope seems to disappear before their eyes. In my personal opinion, this is a very interesting book. Who ever reads this should love it. I would recommend this book to an adventurous, outback person and also children Grades 4-7. Great book!!! Alyce, rural Queensland |
