Charlie Sullivan is good at being fifteen. She satisfies all of the requirements: she's rude and surly, and has a smart mouth.
On a school history excursion to the local cemetery, she discovers that Dan Ryan, the local bushranger, used to hide from the troopers in the caves on her father's farm.
This story touches on serious issues about growing up in the country and coping with death. However, Charlie's irreverent take on life prevents her from getting too down in the dumps, despite what the weird School Counsellor, Mr Bolitho, writes about her in his file. Charlie wonders why they have such weird people trying to stop other people from being weird.
