Max Fatchen chronicles the journey of a young protagonist whose world is turned upside down when a biplane roars across the horizon, igniting a passion for flight that sets him on a collision course with the traditions and hardships of farm life below.\n\nFatchen, one of Australia's most beloved storytellers, crafts a narrative rich with warmth, authenticity, and a keen sense of place — painting a vivid portrait of a nation on the cusp of modernity. His prose balances adventure with emotional depth, capturing the universal tension between the life we inherit and the future we dare to imagine. A timeless story for young readers, Closer to the Stars leaves you wondering just how far a single dream can carry you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210266681563,"sku":"2026200017489-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c13491f7-8ce1-4628-954a-c9aae23e21fa.png?v=1788268380","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017489-secondhand-closer-to-the-stars","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
