About this audiobook
One summer. One friendship. One story that changes everything.
When 13-year-old Milo is sent to spend the summer holidays with his grandmother on the outskirts of a quiet town, he meets Oscar—a boy who has a serious heart condition, a dog-eared copy of Prince Caspian, and an imagination as vast as Narnia itself.
When Oscar is bullied, Milo must find the courage to be the friend he’s always wanted to be. And when the summer holidays draw to a close, Milo faces the hardest battle of all: saying goodbye and believing that life—like the best stories—never truly ends.

About the author
Julie Modra grew up in the New South Wales town of Taree and the idyllic seaside community of Forster-Tuncurry. Later, she settled in the bayside area of Redland City, Brisbane, with her husband and three daughters, and studied to become a secondary English and history teacher. She also taught as a sessional tertiary lecturer on Western Literary Tradition and Australian Literature, immersing herself in her love of English literature and poetry. Julie writes middle-grade fiction, as well as adult fiction in the genres of inspirational fiction, literary fiction, historical fiction and romance. She's a graduate of the Australian Writers' Centre and champions other writers in their creative pursuits whenever possible. Having experienced her middle daughter's battle with cancer and her first husband's passing from cancer, Julie aims to write stories that are full of heart and spread messages of hope. When Julie isn't writing, she procrastinates by sewing garments to wear, camping off-grid in nature with her wonderful husband, Brian, watching her backyard chickens whilst sipping tea or babysitting her precious grandchildren.
