Charlie Archibald chats to Dani Vee about her YA novel Mallee Boys.

This debut novel won the Adelaide Festival Unpublished Manuscript Award. Mallee Boys explores masculinity in a tough landscape and how two brothers overcome grief, accept their differences and find a way to move on. It's a beautiful novel and the setting is authentically Australian.

'It's a novel teenage boys will recognise themselves in - a feat for any writer to achieve.' Age/Sydney Morning Herald.

'The landscape is tough, but full of beauty for those who look for it.' Claire Saxby.

Enjoy!
