SHORTLISTED FOR THE YOTO CARNEGIE MEDAL 2024 SHORTLISTED FOR THE UKLA BOOK AWARD 2024 SHORTLISTED FOR THE YOUNG QUILLS AWARD 2024 The Song Walker is an extraordinary new story of friendship, discovery and courage from Zillah Bethell, author of The Shark Caller which won the Wales Book of the Year and the Edward Stanford Children's Travel Book of the Year 2022. ""There are three questions that I need to find the answers to: Where am I? What am I doing here? And... Who am I?"" When a young girl wakes up in the middle of the desert, she has no idea who she is. She's wearing one shoe, a silky black dress, and she's carrying a strange, heavy case. She meets Tarni, who is on a mysterious quest of her own. Together, the two girls trek across the vast and ever-changing Australian Outback in search of answers. Except both are also hiding secrets... ""A tense and twisty story about friendship and music, and how we might all find out who we really are."" Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week ""A gripping and beautifully written adventure story with a terrific twist. "" Irish Independent ""A fabulous adventure."" Holly Webb

A different girl went with a different girl and enjoyed life together. Recommended.

I loved how the girls memories came back in bits and pieces and how she didn’t even know her own name

Viscountess Flossy Pendragon 18.08.2024
this book is a good one but I don't like how Tarni keeps Sienna's life a secret from her

I liked Tarni the best as she was very BOLD. What interested me was the factual information on how to survive in the wilderness. I would recommend this book to people who are brave and like adventures.

This book was about a girl who woke up in the middle of an Australian desert. I thought that this book was quite mysterious, as it talked about spirits and ghosts. Sadly I couldn't understand the ending .

I loved it. It was very similar to Zillah Bethell’s Shark Caller which was equally as amazing.

It is a remarkable story about two friends walking across the desert. Every page is full of exciting new challenges that make the two friends grow closer every time. I love the character Tarni, as she is very bold and strong. She knows how to solve every problem and knows how to hunt and find your way around the desert. I would recommend this book to children 9-11 who likes adventure.
