| Summary Note |
Once upon a time, in a dark city far away, there lived a boy called Walter, who had nothing but his name to call his own. The handwritten book, with its strangely vivid illustrations, has been hidden in the old house for a long, long time. Tonight, four students and their teacher will find it. Tonight, at last, the haunting story of Walter and the mysterious girl called Sparrow will be read, right to the very end. From one of Australia’s most renowned children’s authors comes an extraordinary story within a story, a mystery, a prophecy, a long-buried secret. And five people who will remember this night for the rest of their lives. |
