I read this book on Australia Day, it was a wet day and with all the debate in our media about Australia Day I was a little down. Because of the disruption of Covid19 in our lives I had not read a book for nearly 12 months, I picked up Walking Among the Stars and started to read, and could not put it down, I cried, I laughed and I cried. Prior to Covid19 I was an avid reader and have purchased and read over 3000 books on my Kindle. Walking Among the Stars is an important book and should be on every reading list in every school. It tells the real story of this great country without any political bias, I understand this is Michaels first book, it is not perfect, some part were a little slow and I still could not put it down, Australia Day was the perfect day to read Walking Among the Stars.
