The Barlows have come to the tiny outback town of Beltana, and Audrey’s enjoying making new friends and seeing amazing sights like houses with real glass in the windows! But when Audrey’s mom is suddenly taken to the hospital, Audrey and her little brother are stranded with strict Mrs. Paterson, who has some very particular ideas about "good" behavior. Can Audrey make friends with this lonely old lady who keeps her heart in a cage? A glossary of "Interesting Words" makes learning Aussie slang fun and easy.
Christine Harris is also the author of Audrey of the Outback and the Undercover Girl series.
