Her novel “Rowan of Rin” is recognized in Australia as the best book of the year, which is read with enthusiasm not only by children, but also by their parents. The mysterious predictions of the sorceress Sheba are all that Rowan has to save his people. It's hard to prove to people that you're worth something. Especially if everyone sees you as a weakling who is afraid of his own shadow. But the hour comes, and trouble itself chooses a hero who will cope with it: to everyone’s amazement, only the klutz Rowan is able to cope with all the trials. To save his younger sister, Rin’s native village, his people and his beloved herd of bukshakhs, Rowan learns to defeat not only his enemies, but first of all his fear and weakness.
