Children's Book Review: Infamous, by Justin D'Ath
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

How can Tim put his town on the map?




Tim is desperate to put the town of Daffodil on the map. Things aren't looking good for the future of the town, and if it doesn't pick up, more people will leave. Especially Tim's best friend Greer and her mum.

Then Tim has a great idea. If a thylacine was spotted in the town, lots of people would come to see it. So, all he has to do is make one. Tim turns his dog Elvis into a Thylacine. When it is spotted, it looks like Tim's plan has worked. The town is packed with visitors and bounty-hunters.

Everything looks good, until Tim and Greer realise that Elvis isn't the only Thylacine in town. Could there be a genuine thylacine? And if there is, how can Tim save it from the bounty-hunters?

Infamous is a fun junior novel from talented children's author, Just D'Ath. With loads of humour and silliness, it also deals with themes of friendship, honesty and conservation.

A great read.
