Maddie Finn
Garry Disher s thrilling new junior novel in which an eleven-year-old girl, Maddie Finn, must outwit a gang of kidnappers and grow in courage and confidence.
Garry Disher has published over forty books, including "The Divine Wind" (which was shortlisted for the 1999 CBC Book of the Year for Older Readers), "From Your Friend, Louis Deane" (a CBC Notable Book), "The Bamboo Flute", "The Apostle Bird" and "Moondyne Kate".
Maddie Finn lives with her mother above a converted stable in the grounds of a big house owned by the gloomy Harold Delamore. It's their cosy burrow against the world, and Maddie's favourite task is to walk Sal, Mr Delamore's rare, prize-winning dog.
But one day, Maddie and her mother are given two months' notice by the trouble-making Delia Delamore, home from her boarding school—or has she been expelled?
When Maddie takes Sal for a walk the next morning, Delia comes too... into a dark alley, where a gang of kidnappers is waiting. But who do they want?
Maddie Finn is a tense, exciting story of a difficult friendship by the best-selling author of The Bamboo Flute and The Divine Wind.
