This gutsy story, set in a small coastal town in South Australia, is a rite-of-passage story about two boys confronting the depth of racism that exists all around them.
‘Deadly, unna?’ He was always saying that. All the Nungas did, but Dumby more than any of them.
Dumby Red and Blacky don't have a lot in common. Dumby's the star of the footy team, he's got a killer smile and the knack with girls, and he's a Nunga. Blacky's a gutless wonder, needs braces, never knows what to say, and he's white. But they're friends ... and it could be deadly, unna?
'Deadly Unna is a story about racism, but it is also a story about much more – friendship, family and self-identity being among the themes explored.'
