A book for younger readers by acclaimed author of 'Mulliway' and 'Three Way Street'. Alice Weaver doesn't like the things other kids like, computer stuff and television, she only loves books. And she has never had a best friend. When Mum and Dad send her to stay with her grandparents in Currawong Creek, bad movies start screening inside her head. Who to tell? There is only Joe, a loyal Border Collie, until Alice feeds a wounded bird, and sets off a chain of events she couldn't have imagined.
