Wandi

Author(s): Favel Parrett

Junior

A young cub is snatched from his family and home by a giant eagle, then dropped, injured and alone in a suburban garden. This is where he meets his first human, and begins his long journey to becoming the most famous dingo in the world.


He will never see his mountain home again, or his family. But it is his destiny to save Alpine dingoes from extinction, and he dreams of a time when all cubs like him can live in the wild in safety instead of facing poison and bullets and hatred.


A Children's literary classic in-the-making from one of Australia's most loved authors.


MATILDA BOOKSHOP REVIEW

 



We have always been drawn to stories narrated by animals, especially canines, such as Call of the Wild and Whitefang. With Wandi Favel Parrett has given us another tale of a wild life altered forever by human interference, this time in a beautifully drawn Australian landscape. Wandi is an alpine dingo just beginning to learn his home in the North under the watchful eye of his Mother and surrounded by the comforting warmth of his siblings, when he is snatched away from everything he knows. Parrett uses the same distinctive, delicate language that defines her adult novels in this wonderful work of young fiction. It is both compassionate and unsentimental; this one could easily become an Australian children’s classic! Emilie
