This is the first volume in a new series that will certainly become an Australian Children’s Classic.

 
Set 40,000 years ago, it follows Wylah a young Peek Wurrhong girl and her giant furry friends (all Australian Megafauna Animals and a Bunyip!) on an action-packed journey to gather the Guardians, become a Koorie Warrior and save her family!

Though grounded in First Nations history and culture this book is also a thrilling fantasy adventure with terrifying dragons.
