Summary: Dougy
Review: Dougy is a superb novel that gives the idea of the racist concern of Aborigines in Australia. When Dougy's sister, Gracey, is chosen for the State Athletics Championships, people in their small town was not all pleased. During the fight between the whites and blacks in the town, Dougy learns to be a leader for his family. It is up to Dougy to save his family, from the war and the mysterious Moodagudda. Dougy is the first book in James Molonely's trilogy. Must read all of them.

Summary: Good book covering the racist issues facing Aborgines today
Review: Dougy, the first book in James Molonely's trilogy ( the other two are Gracey and Angela, both of which a terrific as well! ), is a fantastic novel which clearly states the racist issues facing Aborigines these days. It also looks deep into Dougy's personal life, especially when his sister, Gracey, is chosen for the State Athletics Championships. During that difficult time, Dougy must learn to stand up for himself, his family and the whole Aboriginal body. A terrific book with both thumbs up!
