He gives an impassioned defence of his actions, condemns those who have wronged him, and sends a chilling warning to those who may yet defy him.This illustrated edition, transcribed from the manuscript now housed in the State Library of Victoria, includes a fascinating new introduction by the historian Alex McDermott. The Jerilderie Letter remains one of the most astonishing documents in Australian history. The Jerilderie Letter is Ned Kelly's manifesto, the story of a widow's son outlawed.

Or will Ada and her brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother?This masterful work of historical fiction is equal parts adventure and a moving tale of family and identity-a classic in the making.Praise for The War that Saved My Life-'Achingly lovely.Nuanced and emotionally acute, this vivid tale from the wartime home front will have readers ages 10-14 wincing at Ada's stumbles and rejoicing to the point of tears in her victories.' Wall Street Journal'Ada's voice is brisk and honest; her dawning realizations are made all the more poignant for their simplicity. Things come to an explosive head, metaphorically and literally.

Set against a backdrop of war and sacrifice, Ada's personal fight for freedom and ultimate triumph are cause for celebration.'
