Imagine living most of your adult life without the ability to read. Unfortunately, this is a sad reality for approximately 32 million Americans. Robert Cox was once one of them. This is the story of a man who, try as he might, simply could not figure out what was wrong with him. Constantly asking himself if he was simply too dumb or stupid to "get it," he overcame obstacles and experienced a colorful life. Despite his success, he can't help but wonder how much better life would've been, if only he could read.

Black Tom Birch was the most feared and hated man in Van Diemen's Land. For four years he kept the colony in a state of terror. He was responsible for the deaths of dozens of settlers. He burnt their buildings and destroyed their livestock and crops. Newspapers raged against him. One demanded he be lynched on capture.Although he was three times in British custody, Black Tom Birch was never tried or punished. Instead, he defected, and history tells us that for the rest of his life he helped the British round up his own people for incarceration on a Bass Strait island.But history is wrong.Now, for the first time, the epic truth is told about this charismatic Aboriginal patriot and his unending fight against invasion. It is a heroic story - and a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.

Penny Platypus has never been able to swim, and what makes it worse is she just doesn't know why. All she knows is that she's terrified of the water and is cruelly teased by one bully in particular. Fortunately she has a best friend Percy who is always there to help and reassure her - until the day a 'miraculous' accident happens that changes her life forever

The killers were Pevay and Timmy. In 1841 they slew two men and wounded others in an angry rampage through the Victorian countryside. As Tasmanian Aborigines, they had many reasons to be angry. When teenagers they'd been jailed for being black. They'd taken unwilling part in the ethnic cleansing of Tasmania. Forcedly interned in a bleak offshore gulag, they'd watched helplessly as friends and family died of disease and despair. Then they were exiled to Victoria where colonists victimised them. It was the last straw. They stole guns and seized their freedom. Their breakout was vengeful and violent. Farms were raided, settlers shot. Despite firefights and ambushes, they evaded pursuers for weeks before being captured in a blaze of gunfire.Their murder trial was a farce. Public officials lied under oath. The judge was biased and inept. The verdict was a foregone conclusion. Now, for the first time, their tragic story is told in full. From their perilous boyhood during Tasmania's Black War to their botched hanging in a crowded Melbourne street.
