Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned.

'Deadly, unna?' He was always saying that. All the Nungas did, but Dumby more than any of them.

Dumby Red and Blacky don't have a lot in common. Dumby's the star of the footy team; he's got a killer smile, and the knack with girls, and he's a Nunga. Blacky's a gutless wonder who needs braces and never knows what to say, and he's white. But they're friends... and it could be deadly, unna?

This gutsy novel, set in a small coastal town in South Australia, is a rites-of-passage story about two boys confronting the depth of racism around them. (publisher blurb)
