Tribal Scarring: Billy's Gotta Find Some Girls - Paperback

by Gary Taaffe (Author)

The clan face a dilemma -- Billy doesn't want to go on his Walkabout yet and besides, he hasn't even been initiated into a man. Can hardly blame him, they want to use the slice of a knife where no boy wants a knife to go. The spirit of his mother forces the issue with a violent attack by a giant Red kangaroo. She's good like that -- helpful. The old Magic Man wants to seal Billy's horrific injuries under the coals of a fire, exactly as he would initiate an Aboriginal Warrior. He's helpful too. Billy must decide whether to endure the pain of initiation or remain a boy.
