Description
The Deep Enders A Novel (for Young Adults) In the midst of World War II, a young man named Murph Turner finds himself in the pearling town of Broome, Western Australia, seeking refuge after his home was destroyed. Instead, he discovers a lawless place filled with espionage, treachery, and murder. Murph soon finds friendship and adventure with Banjo, an Aboriginal scamp, and Micki, a teenager on the run from authorities. As the Japanese armada closes in on the northern coastline, the trio is thrust into a deadly adventure set against the backdrop of a true wartime tragedy. Based on actual events linked to Pearl Harbor, this novel brings to life a shocking episode that was immediately covered up by Allied governments and has remained largely unknown for 75 years.
