Ten-year-old Flynn Taylor still has trouble coming to terms with the devastating Valley Gorge bush that killed his parents five years ago and changed his world forever. His older sister, Alex, and brother, Hood, care for Flynn, but he continually finds himself in detention in his new school in zO. Flynn already has a reputation as the new kid with a half-decent temper. Everyone at school knows he can kick rubbish bin lids farther than anyone else. But he’s no match for the group of bullies, led by Spike, who threaten to damage his sister’s shop if he doesn’t follow their demands. And when their dare costs him his coveted spot on the Dragons football team, will Flynn’s bravery lead him to the best friend he’d never imagined?
Set in the fantasy world of human-like koala creatures called Gruntz, this is a journey of hope, adventure and finding home.
