Joan Woodberry's Rafferty Makes a Landfall chronicles the journey of a determined young boy navigating the unfamiliar terrain of mid-twentieth-century Australia, where every stranger is a potential ally or obstacle, and home is a concept still to be discovered. With warmth and quiet tension, Woodberry crafts a story that speaks directly to the universal childhood experience of feeling out of place in a world that seems to have already decided its rules without you.\n\nWoodberry writes with an assured, gentle hand — her prose is economical yet evocative, capturing the anxieties and small triumphs of youth with remarkable clarity. As a celebrated figure in Australian children's literature, she brings an authenticity to her depiction of working-class life and immigrant experience that elevates Rafferty Makes a Landfall beyond a simple adventure story into something far more enduring. Whether Rafferty truly finds his footing in this strange new world remains a question that will keep young readers — and the young at heart — eagerly turning pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130694410459,"sku":"2026100007956-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/84edb143-5592-4ef3-9a21-6c2451886aec.png?v=1786588666","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007956-secondhand-rafferty-makes-a-landfall","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
