'A great Australian yarn for upper primary readers, BRUMBY PLAINS would be a good choice for promotion in libraries or serial reading in classrooms before the December/January holidays... Joanne Van Os knows the country and lifestyle thoroughly and evokes both using authentic details throughout the action... The plot is suspenseful and not entirely predictable even to the sophisticated reader. Country children will recognise some of their experiences and attitudes while urban readers will dream of the freedom and the opportunity to develop adult skills early in life enjoyed by their outback peers. A good read in the tradition of bush adventures by Joan Phipson, Nan Chauncy and Patricia Wrightson.' MAGPIES
