Thyla is a story of Tasmania: of darkness, of convicts, of devils and tigers, and of promises that stay true through the centuries. It is the story of what happened to Cat, and what Tessa really is.

Synopsis

My name is Tessa. I am strong. I am brave. I do not cry. These are the only things I know for certain. I was found in the bush, ragged as a wild thing. I have no memory - not even of how I got the long, striping slashes across my back. They make me frightened of what I might remember. The policewoman, Connolly, found me a place in a boarding school and told me about her daughter, Cat, who went missing in the bush. I think there is a connection between Cat, me, and the strange things going on at this school. If I can learn Cat's story, I might discover my own - and stop it happening again.
A thrilling paranormal tale of shapeshifting, a centuries-old war and finding out who you really are when your memories betray you.

So, when Daisy...

I’d like to point out, of course, that I love being a writer, and that this quiz is not intended to imply in any way that my colleagues in the writing biz are fools. But it does take some unusual...
