Harry's perfect life does not include spending an entire weekend tramping around a stinking-hot, snake-filled scrub. But doing it without a phone? That's a big mistake. As it turns out, it was only the beginning...

City kid Harry is doomed to spend his weekend hiking with his phone-addict Mum, her bossy bestie Ana, and Ana's kid Deepika, a camping fanatic who can't seem to stop talking. But Harry discovers hiking's not as bad as it sounds. Step by step, he and Deepika discover a new friendshipβ€”and a new confidence in the world around them. Then disaster strikes, and the pair find themselves lost. Or is it Mum and Ana who are lost?

Off the Track by Cristy Burne blends adventure with discovery. It's a tale of unexpected friendship, facing fears, and exploring the great outdoors. Will Harry and Deepika find their way, or will they uncover something much more significant?
