Brindabella by Ursula Dubosarsky
2.0
This is a sweet little story that starts well, but then faded for me.
I got a surprise part-way through, when the perspective of the narrative suddenly changes and becomes a bit like Charlotte's Web. This immediately felt weaker than when Pender was narrating. There was also a jarring change. Brindabella's attitude and first words didn't seem to gel with the description of her life we had just been reading.
After that, the story continues, but very quickly/not fleshed out. I liked the ending though.
We'll see what Miss 10 thinks.
