À propos de cet audio

Taylor Markham is now a senior at the Jellicoe School, and has been made leader of the boarders. She is responsible for keeping the upper hand in the territory wars with the townies, and the cadets who camp on the edge of the school's property over summer.

She has to keep her students safe and the territories enforced and to deal with Jonah Griggs - the leader of the cadets and someone she'd rather forget. But what she needs to do, more than anything, is unravel the mystery of her past and find her mother - who abandoned her on the Jellicoe Road six years before.

The only connection to her past, Hannah, the woman who found her, has now disappeared, too, and the only clue Taylor has about Hannah and her mother's past is a partially written manuscript about a group of five kids from the Jellicoe School, twenty years ago.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This roller coaster ride of a novel grabs you from the first sentence and doesn't let go." (Printz Award Committee Chair Mary Arnold)
"Taylor Markham, an Australian high school student, spends her senior year trying to make sense of her personal history in this well-crafted coming-of-age story. The plot builds smartly as connections are made and seemingly unrelated pieces slot into place. Rebecca Macauley guides and compels the listener as the narrative jumps back and forth in time and switches point of view. She's equally believable as kid and adult, as teen boy and teen girl, and she's especially adept at communicating the full, riotous range of teen emotion. The mood swings, from sarcastic to despairing to intimate to playful and back again, could have been overdone, but instead they feel authentic every step of the way." (AudioFile Magazine)

Despite it being an award-winning book, I don't feel like many know, let alone have read this great book from Melina Marchetta. And this is a shame! It's a great story about and for teens - with great characters that they will find easy to relate to, an engaging, twisting plot that is part drama, part mystery...and all of it taking place in Australia, making Macauley's voice perfect as narrator. This is well-worth the read/listen. All with whom I have shared it feel the same. #Audible1
