Midnite

Even though Midnite was 17, he wasn't very bright. So when his father died, his five animal friends decided to look after him. Khat, the Siamese, suggested he become a bushranger and Red Ned, his horse, offered to help. But it wasn't very easy, especially when Trooper O'Grady put him in prison. So it was good that he found gold! 8+.

Midnite is a not-so-wild and not-too-bright colonial boy. When he becomes an orphan, his animal friends decide he should be a bushranger. But bushranging isn't easy either.

An hilarious, classic Australian novel.

About the Author

Acknowledged as one of Australia's finest writers, Randolph Stow was born in Geraldton, Western Australia, in 1935. He graduated from the University of Western Australia and lectured in English at the Universities of Adelaide, Western Australia and Leeds. In addition to his writing, Randolph worked as a teacher and sometime anthropologist and for many years he lived in Sussex, England (his ancestral home). His works included novels, plays, poetry and children's books. His best-known novels include To the Islands (one of the first books published by Penguin in Australia, in 1963), Tourmaline and, what many regard as his finest work, The Merry-Go-Round in the Sea. He also wrote the hugely popular children's novel Midnight. Stow was awarded the Miles Franklin Award for To the Islands, and in 1979 he was awarded the Patrick White Award. Randolph Stow died in May 2010 at the age of seventy-four.
