π Billie King by Shannon Kelly-White
What a debut! βοΈ This is a captivating story of friendship, courage, and finding your place in a world that often underestimates women.
Billie King is a tough, fearless 12-year-old who isnβt afraid to take matters into her own hands (with a gun-slinging spirit to match!). Desperately searching for answers about where her mum has gone, Billieβs journey takes her through heartbreak, adventure, and the challenges of growing up in a world that expects girls to stay in their place.
Set across the 1918 and 1930s Australian bush, we follow Billieβs journey as she navigates friendship, family, hardship, and the expectations placed on women during these changing times. Shannon Kelly-White beautifully captures the challenges of the era while celebrating independence, bravery, resilience, and the strength found in unlikely friendships.
Billie is a memorable heroine β determined, spirited, and impossible not to cheer for.
A fantastic start from Shannon Kelly-White β Iβll definitely be looking out for what comes next! πΏβ¨
