关于此电子书

Few people know that boys as young as ten years old were transported to Australia as convicts early last century. Even fewer know that a special boys' prison, Point Puer, was built for them at Port Arthur, Tasmania.

EDWARD BRITTON tells the gripping, shocking story of the suffering and triumphs of two teenage convicts with very different characters, hopes and fears.
