The Song Walker cover

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...

Compelling... A tense and twisty story about friendship and music, and how we might all find out who we really are. * The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week *
A gripping and beautifully written adventure story with a terrific twist. * Irish Independent *
An all-action adventure in a dazzling landscape. * Lancashire Evening Post *
A fabulous adventure * Holly Webb *
