| Summary Note |
Jali boy : Ya lying, interrupted Jali. Minus numbers dun exist Jali wasnt trying to be rude, he wad trying to learn. But this mathematics was confusing. Numbers did not go backwards from zero. That was stupid. You could not have less than no pipis or lilly-pills at all. Being sent to boarding school in the city was harder than Jali could have imagined. But what no one yet knows, even Jali, is that this boy is a warrior at heart. |
| Jindah Murray : I felt the spirit and presence of old man wind right there with me. He was the closesr audience, like a blaket around my skin. his energy gave my body energy and what felt like perfect control, slow when I needed to be slow and fast when I needed to travel. Jindah giver her dance lessons 100 percent. What she's never guessed is that, through dancing, she will find out who she is. |
| The chainsaw file : When it comes to being selective in the history you believe about Australia, or if you choose to racially stereotype people, then there is every chance you are going to be challenged by someone passionate and smart enough to have a go. The question for the challenger is: which fights do you pick and with whom? This book answers these questions through the story of Tyrone Smith who Is suspended from school for questioning his teacher Brooksy about Captain Cook discovering Australia only to find a new challenge on the building site his father takes him to as punishment. This book opens with a comment about segregation in Australian history and the Freedom Rides lead by the late Charlie Perkins, and closes on the way in which some people still insist on measuring Aboriginality. |
