More about the Audrey Books

 
'Audrey of the Outback' information link
Audrey has a lot on her mind. Her dad is away, Price thinks he's too old for games. But Audrey, together with her best friend, Stumpy, wonders about big questions like ... is being a swaggie lonelier than being a girl, is it better to be a sheep or a cow and if dogs go to heaven, do their legs hang down.





Audrey Goes to Town info link

Audrey goes to Beltana and has to live with a strict old woman, Mrs Paterson, who looks like a burnt stick.





Audrey's Big Secret coverAudrey discovers a big secret and she is torn between telling the truth and breaking a promise.
