'The ship was a towering fortress looming over the pier. Anton
stared enviously at the emigrants lining up in front of the wide
gangplank. Heading off on a voyage to a land of peace and plenty.
Leaving the land of broken buildings and crushed hopes behind.
Looking forward to sunshine and steaks. How he wished that he was
one of the lucky ones.' Loosely based on Paul Jennings' journey to
Australia as a 'ten pound Pom', the story of Anton, who escapes
from an orphanage and successfully stows away on a boat headed for
the land of 'sunshine and steaks' has a timeless reality of its
own. It is a tale of loss, guilt, mistaken identity and taking
risks but also surprisingly heartwarming and heartbreaking. Perfect
for reluctant readers in upper primary and lower secondary, it
speaks of loss, migration, reslience and courage. Beautifully
illustrated by Geoff Kelly.
