Product Description
Product Description
In this riveting survival story, a brush fire threatens to engulf the countryside. Cut off from outside help, a group of children is called upon to demonstrate courage-or lack of it-in the face of impending disaster. Ivan Southall portrays his characters as neither heroes nor villains; rather, he focuses on their actions and interactions-how they survive or fall as a group. First published in 1966, Ash Road won the Australian Children's Book of the Year Award.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The first "real book" I had ever read, a great story!, Oct 11 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ash Road (Hardcover)
Like many "first's" in life, I can recall the first time I read Ash Road. It depicted a time, and place, and culture, that was completely different to my own. As a young person, the book moved me to interpret life, and indeed the world, in a new light. From that point on in my educational career, I embraced the idea of reading for "pleasure", an undertaking that has literally changed my life. Thank you Mr. Southall. Now I plan on giving Ash Road as a birthday gift to my sixth grade daughter, who is constantly bothering me to stay up "just a little longer", .......to read.
