Jack Westerbaan is a Dutch immigrant to Australia. His father’s execution by the Germans during World War II put a severe strain on Jack’s faith. While in Australia, working as a cowhand, he abandons his faith.
He decides to retrace his roots, but first he wants to cross the continent once more and visit places he’s never seen before.
On his journey he kills a wallaby, not knowing he has thereby violated an aboriginal taboo. The tribe’s witch doctor pronounces a curse on Jack and the hunt is on.
The story is fast-moving and exciting. Jack’s flight lands him in one predicament after another.
Yet this is not action pure and simple; the story is laced with vivid, graphic descriptions of the fascinating Australian landscape.

Foreword by Gregory Maguire.
A pair of siblings, Eddy and Eleanor Hall, hunt for treasures as they try to save their ramshackle home from being repossessed by the bank. A piece of glass shaped like a diamond, embedded in an attic window, is the key to a series of dreams in which secrets are slowly revealed, and a way forward promised. The diamond’s refraction of light is the equivalent of the wardrobe crossing to Narnia, or the tornado express to Oz. The moonlight over Concord sifts through the diamond’s surfaces and the spell it casts interrupts the tedious worry of real life, ushering Eleanor and Eddy into elegant and shivery dream adventures of increasing peril.
#97 of the Top 100 Children’s Novels of all Time Poll (2012) by School Library Journal, even though out-of-print for decades!
“It is to this book that I credit my own belief in the capacity of fiction to enlarge, enlighten, enliven. It remains one of the most important books in my reading life—it showed me what books could do. It made me want to become a writer, too.”
—Gregory Maguire, best-selling author of WICKED
“Magic in Concord, Massachusetts. Plus Emerson and Thoreau. This book (and its sequels) struck a deep chord in me early on.” –Anne Nesbet, author
“Reminiscent in structure of Alice In Wonderland, it gives full vent to fantasy in following the escapades of Eddy and Eleanor in a world of dreams and nightmares. …there is much to be said in praise of Miss Langton’s imagery. The attempt to weave New England history into the main fabric—to incorporate Thoreau’s and Emerson’s ideas, is fascinating.”
—Kirkus Reviews
