Bücher der Reihe Buckley the Yowie

It''s Christmas 1902 and the town of Kilcoy has been enduring a serious drought all year. Buckley the Yowie cannot stop the drought but he and his animal friends can lend a hand preparing for the coming rains. But it is not just Kilcoy that is need of help, for a certain magical figure and his exhausted and thirsty reindeer have lost much time due to the terrible heat, and need Buckley to do the Australian run for them. Join Buckley on his adventure around Australia, in his rickety farm cart, as he races to save Christmas. But will he succeed?

An accidental encounter with two young boys leads Buckley the Yowie on his greatest adventure yet. One of the boys, Edward Kelly, son of a former convict, influenced by the people and world around him, seems set on a path of crime and self destruction. Join Buckley as he becomes Ned''s friend and mentor, trying his best to steer him in the right direction. But what will Ned choose, the life of a farmer or that of a Bushranger, and an eventual fiery showdown at a small town called Glenrowan?

Let the magic of a Dreamtime legend take you back to a more innocent time in history. Buckley the Yowie is immortal, loveable, and magical, but is misjudged and feared by the First Australians. A chance meeting with an escaped convict sets Buckley on a journey of discovery, and love, for his first ever companion, his new found family, and his soon to be home town of Kilcoy, in Queensland's Outback. This first edition, in a series of stories, celebrates this noble character of the Australian Outback who will soon become famous for his innocence, knowledge and wisdom. Buckley's first adventure is packed with great moments and characters, including the building of an outback town, and the sadness and pride brought by the Great War. A must have for any young reader who has ever imagined sitting under the stars listening to stories from true history and legend.
