Have you ever gotten lost in a book? Entranced into the world of a mysterious old story of Alice Springs published a hundred years ago, Millie, a Warlpiri teenager, is sucked up by a willy willy and transported to 1924. Here she meets a crew of oddly familiar young people, Sonny, Beryl and Spike. As the group compare notes, they realise the Alice Springs of the past and the future are not as different as they seem...

Desert Tracks is a time travelling novel about young people in central Australia, about racial profiling, the historical legacy of racist policies and the relationship between history and the present.
