Tak! reviewed Dirt Town by Hayley Scrivenor
When twelve-year-old Esther disappears on the way home from school in a small town in …
Dirt Town
4 stars
This is a novel so Australian that it goes from Milo to "no worries" to lamington in the course of a single paragraph.
Apart from that, it's kind of a typical crime novel following the investigation of a young teenage girl's disappearance.
The most interesting thing it does, in my opinion, is, among the chapters following various characters' viewpoints, adding "we" chapters that are meant to be kind of a combined viewpoint of the town's kids.

At its heart, it's about the power of STORYTELLING. And it has a hell of an ending.

What a rollercoaster!
Navola could not be more different than Bacigalupi's excellent despairpunk scifi, with the exception that it is also excellent.
