Flyaway

by Kathleen Jennings - Fantasy, Fiction

In a small Western Queensland town, a reserved young woman receives a note from one of her vanished brothers --- a note that makes her question memories of their disappearance and her father’s departure. A beguiling story that proves that gothic delights and uncanny family horror can live --- and even thrive --- under a burning sun, FLYAWAY introduces readers to Bettina Scott, whose search for the truth throws her into tales of eerie dogs, vanished schools, cursed monsters and enchanted bottles.
