WYLAH THE KOORIE WARRIOR - CUSTODIANS BY JORDAN GOULD AND ILLUSTRATED BY RICHARD PRITCHARD

Join Wylah on this second epic adventure in the Koorie Warrior series. She has managed to unite the five Guardians but now must battle the Dragon Army and the evil men controlling it.

 Tribes have been captured and taken to search for gold. Once they have revealed where their totems are, the invaders can gain ultimate power. Elders, refusing to cooperate, along with their fellow tribespeople are caged and exhausted but strong in their resistance to Captain Frye and the head of the Imperial Alchemy, Livingstone.

 Can Wylah find them in time and fight off the many creatures and enemies sent to find the totems?

 Jordan Gould has given readers another action-packed quest full of engaging characters and villainous bad guys. The way of life known for generations is at risk and the burden falls on Wylah to save the day. Her struggles with confidence and responsibility play out amongst a rich world whose background is sourced from indigenous language and culture.

The illustrations of Richard Pritchard enhance the fast-paced energy found throughout the book and his portrayal of some of these imaginary creatures are fabulous.
