Betweenandin Australia, children in poverty were torn from their families and put into government care, for their own good.
They were called the forgotten children, I didn't enjoy this as much as other Zana Fraillon books, perhaps because it is aimed at a slightly younger audience so has a little less depth.
Exploring the cruelty and hardship of being abandoned in Care Homes in Australia it gets its message across about what the 'Forgotten Generation' had to go through.
A very confronting and painful episode in Australian history presented very sensitively, Wow! Tears and big lump in my throat! A beautiful very special, wonderful book! It should be receiving much more attention! One of the best books about the "stolen" or as "forgotten" generation for Middle School students available.
It grabbed my heart and mind and I just loved the main character from page one, It is an Australian story but I am sure it would speak internationally, A little boy's spirit shines amid some dark truths in this tender and memorable novel about being taken from home and put in an orphanage.


"Each kid only has one pair of shoes here, Number's shoes are a pretty good fit for me and I know they're new because they still have that plastic smell.
But the real Numberis quite a bit bigger than I am, because his pants keep falling down on me, I wish he would come back, so that I could go home, "

Jack loves telling jokes, but not many people laugh at them in the orphanage, Will he ever be reunited with his mother and sister, his greataunts and greatgrandmother, back at home

A haunting, fablelike story.


Intriguing, sad and thought provoking, Beautiful bitter sweet story of family separation and heavy handed authorities, Amazingly compelling voice. Adored the touches of surreal happenings throughout, HAHA THIS BOOK IS REALLY GOOD, At one stage I thought the main character had died and I was freaking out and stuff because I'm so attached to him but he hadn't.
Thankfully Yeah though. It's really good read it, Almost perfect Check out my review for this spellbinding read!

sitelink wordp Älskar att den belyser den tragiska historien som många barn upplevde i Australien undertalet, ÄLSKAR hur den är skriven, som om den verkligen var berättad ur enårings perspektiv,
Som en bok man läser för ”nöjes” skull skulle jag säga att den är ganska långdragen utan många upp och nedgångar.
