Flinty McAlpine is sixteen, and while WW1 ended almost a year ago it still resonates for Flinty and her family who lost so much. Years of war and drought have also left the district in chaos and local families are doing their best to rebuild lives and land. With both parents dead, Flinty is bringing up her younger siblings as her brother Andy has 'gone with cattle' to Queensland.
Money is tight, but as the best rider in the family Flinty seizes the opportunity to make a quick £100. Disguised as a boy, she talks her way into a brumby muster that is headed up by the legendary Clancy of the Overflow. Among the herd there is an unbroken colt that Flinty buys, as she can see his enormous potential.
But for a young girl of sixteen, there is still so much of life to be lived, and while Flinty has hints of her future, she never imagines what is can really hold for this girl from Snowy River.
The second title in The Matilda Saga, this book is a love song to the beautiful Snowy Mountains and a tribute to Australia's poets who immortalized so much of our land.
