(I don't think there is any way I can explain this amazing story. I will try, but I will fail.)
Harper Flute and her family struggle during Depression times in rural Australia. Her little brother Tin takes to tunneling as life for the family gets more and more desperate. As Tin spends more and more of his time tunneling, the family begins to let Tim go.
How would you classify this story? Historical fiction? Maybe. Science fiction? Maybe a little of that, too.
In any case, it's truly a story like no other that I have read.
