The Map of William

By Michael Thomas

Western Australia, 1909. William Watson’s beloved father is set on an expedition to the north-west to map water sources in the Pilbara. Invited along, fifteen-year-old William embarks on the outback journey of a lifetime. At sea and on land, William will forge lasting friendships with his fellow travellers, and transform his relationship with his father as together they face the darkness in some men’s hearts – including the cruel and vengeful Sergeant Jardine.

This is a classic rite-of-passage novel that follows one young man on his journey of growth and self-discovery.

Read Serena Kirby’s review for ARR.News and her author interview with Michael Thomas:
… a darn good read … If you’re looking for a book that includes history, action and great character development The Map of William has it in spades.
