The child in the tree is on my mind right now. I narrate tales to him. Regarding the Jellicoe School, the Townies, and the Sydney school cadets. I inform him about the territorial struggle that exists between us. I also tell him about Hannah, the resident of the partially constructed home by the river. Hannah should not be hiding from the world at such a young age. Hannah, the one who discovered me six years ago on Jellicoe Road.
At the Jellicoe School, Taylor is the leader of the boarders. She needs to cope with Jonah Griggs, the mysterious cadet leader whom she believed she would never see again, and maintain the upper hand in the territorial warfare.
And now Hannah, the one Taylor had grown to trust, is no longer there. A book about five children who lived in Jellicoe eighteen years ago is Taylor's lone lead. She must face her own past in order to learn more, as well as make sense of her peculiar, recurrent dream and locate her mother, who abandoned her on the Jellicoe Road.
The latest book from the best-selling, multiple-award-winning author of Looking for Alibrandi and Saving Francesca is a poignant, joyful, and very captivating read.
