THE GIRL FROM FAR AWAY is about JENNY, a primary school student who befriends a new girl just before school holidays are due to commence.
ADELINE is the new girl. She looks a bit weird and acts a bit weird. She is pretty, rather quiet, yet pleasant enough to talk to. Jenny has come to be friends with Adeline as well as with her parents and elder brother, Esmond. They are renting a huge old house in the Adelaide hills, while her father completes an important business trip.
Jenny ends up going to stay with them for a couple of days.
It is during this time that she comes to learn a lot more about Adeline and her rather strange family.
It leads on to an adventure like no other Jenny has ever experienced.
