Sibling rivalries erupt when the Qweepie family relocates from the Florida suburbs to a dilapidated Western Kentucky farm. Killiope, known as Driew Qweepie’s big sinister, is plotting against her little bother. Her unaffectionate schemes alert Driew to the dangers of being lost, stolen, or escaping the farm out back. During Driew’s fight for sinister respect, he and Gulia, the Australian girl-next-door, uproot a magic man’s OUTBACK secret.

“Adams’ characters amuse, frustrate, intrigue, and redeem us. Most importantly, OUTBACK teaches us the wisdom of ‘family,’ ‘roots,’ and ‘home’—all of which make their own kind of magic in our everyday lives.”

—Jo Travis, retired English Teacher and Librarian

Readers are introduced to a variety of Australian, American, and Qweepie vernacular throughout the novel series. Choose to adopt or to adapt these terms using the “Language of the Outback” glossary included.
