Description 125 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm Series Premier’s reading challenge (NSW) grades 5-6 Summary “What if you had just one week left to say goodbye to everything you’d ever known? Toby and his mum and dad are leaving their family farm after the death of Toby’s younger sister, Leah. Together, they sort through all their belongings and put things aside to sell or throw out. It’s a big task, and Toby doesn’t want to leave the only place he’s called home. As his last day on the farm approaches, Toby has a plan – a plan to say goodbye to all the things and places that means something special to him and Leah, from the machinery shed and Pa’s old truck to the chook house. With the help of his best friend, Trigger, the dog, he learns what it means to take your leave.”--Back cover Analysis Australian Notes Maps on end papers The Children's Book of the Year Awards shortlisted book ; NSW Premier's Literary Awards 2019 shortlisted Audience For primary school age Notes Shortlisted by the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) [2019] Children's Book of the Year Award for Younger Readers Subject Premier’s reading challenge (NSW) grades 5-6 Moving, Household -- Juvenile fiction Bereavement -- Juvenile fiction Novels in verse Australian fiction Children's stories Belonging (Social psychology) -- Juvenile fiction Grief -- Juvenile fiction Farewells -- Juvenile fiction Loss (Psychology) in children -- Juvenile fiction Families -- Juvenile fiction Genre/Form Australian fiction Children's stories Australian fiction.
