In this descriptive heart-warming companion to ‘A Different Dog’ and ‘A Different Boy’ Anton, Christopher and their Mother Pat finally arrive at their destination that feels more like the end of the world after having travelled twelve thousand miles. Pat had answered an advertisement for a job as an assistant at The Last Coach Hotel & General Store, only to discover they thought her to be a male and without children. Will they still employ her? The black and while illustrations throughout and short chapters makes this twisting tale set in the Australian bush appealing to the reluctant reader and a great read-a-loud for the teacher requesting a short story.
