Description

Brightest Wild is a gently lyrical story about discovering Country and the importance of family, friendship, and the magic of the bush. It comes from an emerging Indigenous talent and the winner of a black&write! Fellowship.

When eleven-year-old Alex moves to Adelaide from London after her mother gets engaged to a man across the globe, Alex must negotiate a new country, a new school, and (most difficult of all) a new stepbrother, the prickly teenaged Koen.

What sustains Alex in this strange new world is the wonder of the natural world around her, particularly a magnificent tree that comes to represent magic, resilience, and strength.

Alex discovers the mystery of the bush, the true impact of climate change, and a passion to fight for what is right.
