The Nargun and the Stars
Author(s): Patricia Wrightson
When Simon BrentâÃÂÃÂs parents are killed in a car accident he is taken to live with his motherâÃÂÃÂs cousins on Wongadilla, their sheep station in the Hunter Valley. Simon, with his city attitudes, feels like an outsider. But Simon is not the only thing that doesnâÃÂÃÂt belong. The arrival of heavy machinery intent on clearing the land brings to life the Nargun, a great rock, older than time itself, that has slowly dragged itself into the valley âÃÂàand with it, a simmering rage that drives it to kill. âÃÂÃÂFantasy of a very uncommon kind: accessible yet profound, immensely readableâÃÂàSusan Cooper âÃÂÃÂEntirely convincingâÃÂàThe Guardian Winner of the Australian ChildrenâÃÂÃÂs Book Council Book of the Year Award
