DescriptionWhen the world burns, all you have is each other. With his home and family torn apart by the attack on Pearl Harbor, 16- year-old Murph Turner is evacuated to a wild town on the Australian coastline. An outsider in a bizarre land, he befriends Banjo, a hilarious Aboriginal scamp with pyrotechnic tendencies and - despite his misgivings - finds himself falling for Micki, a gorgeous but mysterious girl on the run from the authorities. Surrounded on all sides by racist town kids, brutal gangsters and government spy-hunters, the trio is suddenly catapulted into the middle of WWII on a fatal day that will shatter their world and everyone they love. The Deep Enders is an action-packed historical fiction that has captivated YA and adult readers around the world.
