Description

The astonishing and magical debut novel from Melbourne writer Emma Gourlay

Kip of the Mountain follows Kip Boowitt, who is desperate for a best friend. When she rescues a tiny creature that looks like a kitten but isn't, she names him Buffel and loves him with all her heart.

With a distracted dad and mean kids at school, all Kip wants is someone with two ears and time for her. Buffel becomes the best listener. But when he's kidnapped, there's only one thing to do - go from mountain to sea to get him back.

An action-packed fantasy adventure full of heart, from debut author Emma Gourlay.

About the Author

Like Kip, Emma Gourlay grew up with a black dad and a white mum and a buffel in her head (in Afrikaans, 'buffel' is the word for a special, rare creature.) Emma dropped out of law school and opened a vintage-clothing shop, but when it was bulldozed to make way for apartments she started to write. She lives in Melbourne.
