New Statesman 'A deeply-felt book, filled with information about desert flora and fauna.'

This book is a book that I really enjoyed. It is not too long/hard for a high school/middle schooler to read. I think that it is a true story and it is really fun. One of the best! I recommend this story.

bought for gift, very nice

Childhood favorite. Still great 20 years later

This really tells a wonderful story of humanity and what people can endure and still survive and become better for the experiece.

Walkabout is a young adult classic, no doubt about it. However, if you are a teacher thinking about buying a set for your classroom, be forewarned: Not only is the printing of low quality in the paperback edition, but the binding drops pages faster than a tree drops leaves in autumn. I ordered 40 copies for my students and the majority are falling apart. And we're not even through the book yet. Hopefully, the publisher will realize how good this book is and eventually come out with a quality paperback.
