This is the seventh in the "Ajax" series, about a young girl and her adventures growing up in the Australian Outback. The first few chapters are about the protagonist as a very little girl, before she got Ajax, her half Dingo companion. I thoroughly enjoyed the prequel chapters as well as the main story about cattle rustlers.

The Ajax series is autobiographic: the author really did have many, if not all of the experiences as written. The stories sound authentic, which makes them that much better. Recommended...if you can find it (I got my reading copy through an online lending library). ( )
