Jinja, a vivacious little girl and member of the indigenous Australian Munjyburra tribe, can't understand why she's not included in a traditional ritual which is exclusive to the boys. Jinja of the Munjyburra follows her adventurous and inventive journey to find her identity and achieve her dreams. Readers of all ages will delight in Jinja's remarkable quest to carve out her individuality within the intriguing and vibrant world of the Munjyburra. Kerrie Annette Thomas grew up in a small town called Laurieton on the Mid-North Coast of NSW in Australia and currently resides in South-East Queensland, where she is a nursing assistant. Her grandmother, who was a wonderful storyteller, serves as her inspiration for writing. Ms. Thomas is working on the next book in the Jinja series.
