Subject Matter: wild children, Australia, mystery/detective
Flannagan is murdered up in the hills, and no one knows who did it. There were a few men who were with him that night and they are put on trial but found no further evidence. Flannagan was the father of two children, one boy and one girl. Left on their own, they turn wild and learn to fend for themselves in a wild kind of way. When Leena is captured, Kimmy becomes her friend in a gentle sort of way. Leena confides in him and he takes it upon himself to find the murderer. As Kimmy and Leena learn more about one another, they form a friendship that is precious among just the two of them. Leena will not allow anyone else to get close to her. Kimmy becomes braver as he realizes that he is the one person Leena totally trusts, and Leena learns that there are people who are willing to help her, if given the chance.
Review: A great mystery as to who killed who and what to do with the wild children.
Now You Know: A great story that even an eight-year-old-would love
