A new year starts like normal - school, family, hockey, dancing. But this year hasn't gone to plan! There's a big art assignment, a drought, a broken wrist and the biggest bushfires her town has ever seen! How will Bindi make it through this massive year? And what will she learn from a baby black cockatoo?" - Back cover. |
