SHORTLISTED FOR THE CHILDREN'S AWARD, INDIE BOOK AWARDS 2022

LONGLISTED FOR BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, ABIA AWARDS 2022

A young cub is snatched from his family and home by a giant eagle, then dropped, injured and alone, in a suburban garden. This is where he meets his first Human, and begins his long journey to becoming the most famous dingo in the world. He will never see his mountain home again, or his family. But it is his destiny to save alpine dingoes from extinction, and he dreams of a time when all cubs like him can live in the wild in safety, instead of facing poison and bullets and hatred.

A children's literary classic in-the-making from one of Australia's most-loved authors.

Do you love animals? How about dingoes? This cute little story based on a real dingo pup will have you saving the planet in no time! We get to see the world through Wandi's eyes, how he was caught, how he was found, how he made friends.

If you ever feel a little lost in the world, don't worry! You'll find your people, just like Wandi.
