THE GOOD SAMARITAN
By Julia Haisley
Ginninderra Press. 120 pages
ISBN 978-1-74027-520-0

This is a novel, apparently aimed at young teenagers. It is a racy story, set on the Australian coast.

A group of Afghan asylum seekers, who have been fleeced by people traffickers, are shipwrecked, rescued and taken by the authorities to a detention centre. However, one man is not picked up, but is discovered by two young adults, Josh and Sarah, who shelter and care for him secretly in their family’s garden shed.
