- "It's been seven years since Mary Brogan has seen her father. He was supposed to have followed them from Australia to New Zealand, but he never turned up.
Now a new goldfield has opened up in Otago, and 13-year-old Mary overhears her aunt saying that she's sure Will Brogan will be there, as he always followed the call of gold.
And thus Mary hatches her daring plan—to make the long trek from her home in Dunedin to the Dunstan Diggings to find her father. But to do so, she will need to disguise herself as a boy..."
