Changes

I liked Ella a great deal, and I liked the developing relationship between Ella and Emery as we see that they overcome their differences, and the fact that although they have the same father and they have different mothers, they are still family, and belong to each other. The dogs also feature largely in the story, pulling them loyally on the sled across the dusty landscape, eating the remaining cans of sardines and then surviving on stringy kangaroos, stinky possums and even a bit of snake! They become characters themselves, and you are rooting for all of them to survive all the way to Emery's grandfather's house. This is an exciting read, and highly recommended.
