Anila's Journey by Mary Finn
Menace and mystery lie in wait on a young girl's journey of discovery in this powerful work of historical fiction. An advert in the Calcutta Gazette is looking for an apprentice draughtsman to accompany a scholar on an expedition to record avian life in Bengal. How can Anila Tandy, left to fend for herself in a city of rogues, dare to apply for a position that is clearly not meant for her? This voyage up the Ganges might be just the thing to equip Anila in her search for her missing father.
