I'm definitely keen to subscribe/grant access back, and have just done so — I'm always delighted to meet people who've read the same Australian children's and YA literature that I grew up with and continue to adore. It always makes me really sad to see negative reviews for Kelleher on Goodreads, as I assume most come from people who were made to read his books for school and didn't click with them. (I seem to be the odd one out in that a) I was introduced to Kelleher's books through school, but fell instantly in love with them and b) I actually ended up loving every single book/play/collection of poetry/film we were assigned to read/watch for English classes in school.)

I haven't reread Taronga in years, although your comment has prompted me to track down a secondhand copy at some point and see if it still stands up. I have reread his Parkland/Earthsong/Fire Dancer trilogy in the past two years, and that definitely still stands up in terms of quality — it's devastatingly good. In other words, I would definitely be keen to read your thoughts on Taronga!
