The story follows the irrepressible Bobbie, a headstrong and unconventional young girl whose fierce independence and refusal to conform to the social expectations of her era set her on a collision course with the world around her — a world that demands propriety but cannot quite contain her vivid, untameable spirit. Set against the richly observed backdrop of Australian colonial life, the narrative crackles with warmth, wit, and a keen sensitivity to the inner lives of children navigating an adult world that rarely listens.\n\nTurner, the author of the iconic Seven Little Australians, writes with the same compassionate authority and sharp moral clarity that made her a cornerstone of Australian children's literature. Her prose is at once tender and unflinching, illuminating themes of identity, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to remain true to oneself. Illustrated by Genevieve Rees and published by Ure Smith, this edition presents a cherished piece of Australian literary heritage — one that leaves the reader wondering whether Bobbie's world ever truly deserved her.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216196706523,"sku":"2026200014507-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1ac3a8a6-79e5-478f-97c5-28ecb193b281.png?v=1788405090","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014507-secondhand-miss-bobbie","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
