Nowra, Louis

Hannah is only six when an accident leaves her and her friend Becky in the care of a pair of Tasmanian tigers, deep in the bush. That it's only the second half of the novel--after the girls are "rescued"--that becomes preposterous (disguised as a boy, Hannah goes on a whaler) is a testament to Nowra's skillful wilderness writing and distinctive storyteller's voice.
