Jellico Road by Melina Marchetta

"What is the difference between a trip and journey?"

Taylor Markham is seventeen years old. Her mother abandoned her on Jellicoe Road when she was eleven. Hannah the adult closest to her has disappeared and Jonah Griggs the boy from her past is back in town. Add in the Brigadier and the mystery deepens.

Taylor's story is intertwined with a manuscript that Narnie is writing about 5 kids that met on Jellico Road. Like the book Holes the past and present are intertwined to tell a story of friendship, love, loss and forgiveness.

What is the difference between a trip and journey? Read Jellicoe Road to discover a journey that you will not want to miss.
