Wylah the Koorie Warrior: Guardians by Jordan Gould and Richard Pritchard
If you’re a fan of adventures, mythology and animals, then you’re in for treat with Wylah the Koorie Warrior. Set 40,000 years ago when megafauna roamed the Earth, we meet Wylah, a young Aboriginal girl whose best friends are animals and has a gift for art. Wylah’s life is turned upside down when her village is attacked by Dragons, kidnapping the villagers, leaving her and one of her art students, Po, and Wylah’s animal friends, behind. Suddenly Wylah is being forced to become the Koorie Warrior, but she finds there’s a lot more challenges she needs to face before she is ready help save her village.
Inspired by First Nations history and culture, mixed with fantasy, Wylah the Koorie Warrior is an exciting story which would be great for young readers aged 7 – 14.
