It's 1892, and 14-year-old Clara Saunders is in search of adventure in the outback. When she strikes up a friendship with cheeky young water carter Jack, it seems to be a promising start. But the goldfields are a harsh place, where water is scarce and disease is common, and it's a place where many men will never find the fortune they've come to seek. With unforeseen tragedies on the horizon, Clara's time in the dusty town will truly test the limits of her fierceness and determination.
Inspired by a true story, Goldfields Girl will take readers back to a time when rural Australian towns were overrun by eager treasure hunters and being a teenage girl wasn't all buttons and bows.
