Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7–10—Rosie Moon, 15, lives in Perth, Australia, and wants some excitement in her life in this novel by Bridget Lowry (Holiday House, 2003). Asher Fielding, the new boy in school, is a mysterious rebel with dreadlocks and a guitar who doesn't follow the school dress code and wants to return to the life he had before his parents split up. When Asher is falsely accused of stealing a teacher's wallet, he and Rosie run away and hitchhike up the coast. They learn a lot about each other and about themselves, and come to realize that sometimes the road one takes is as important as where one wants to go. Kate Hosking brings alive the lyrical nature of the writing and engages listeners with a narration that is emotionally intense and easily distinguishes each character. This Australian import is realistic, romantic, and entertaining.—Stephanie A. Squicciarini, Fairport Public Library, NY

Good girl Rosie and her new "bad boy" friend, Asher, who has dreadlocks and loves Jim Morrison, decide to hitchhike up the coast of Australia, where they take up with a hippie family. This novel is structured around quirky vignettes by a multitude of characters. The format does not translate well to the spoken word in this case. While Kate Hosking differentiates the characters well, the story's frequent and abrupt shifts in point of view make it extremely difficult to follow the plot. A sweet, romantic examination of teen angst is too broken up to be coherent. The biography of the author at the beginning of the story is the most listenable aspect of this production.
