Summary
Yirra’s mum’s sick of vacuuming up fur balls, the neighbours are fed up with having their undies nicked from the clothesline, and her step-dad just wants his slippers back.
If Yirra doesn’t find a dog-trainer soon, she’ll have to give her beloved Demon to a new family - one who likes dogs who run and dig a lot.
Bursting with energy and madcap fun, Yirra and Her Deadly Dog, Demon gives young readers a contemporary view of urban Indigenous life in Sydney.
