Playing Beatie Bow
by Ruth ParkAbigail Kirk was an ordinary enough fourteenyear-old growing up in Sydney. She was a prickly, quiet girl who resented her father breaking up their home and leaving them. So when her mother told her they were all going to live together again in Norway, Abigail couldn't understand and couldn't forgive either of her parents. It was 'the little furry girl' who started it all. Only Abigail and Natalie noticed her watching the children playing the scary game they called 'Beatie Bow'. When Abigail tried to speak to her, she ran off into the back streets of that part of Sydney known as The Rocks. At least it looked like The Rocks, but was it? All Abigail knew was that the Bows wouldn't let her go home again and the girl was Beatie Bow. And what was 'the gift' they were all talking about in whispers? But there were compensations for being unable to get back into her own time: like leaming to live in Victorian Sydney, getting to know the Bows - and, most important of all, meeting Judah. Winner of the 1981 Australian Children's Book of the Year Award.
