At the age of seven, children in eighteenth century Britain were tried in court like adults. Some, as young as nine, were transported to the colonies. Their names may not be familiar, but one of these child convicts would become the first person hanged in Australia, another would be celebrated on our twenty-dollar note and a third would count a future prime minister as a descendant. Their story is one of survival. Their story is one of nation-building. Their story is the story of Australia.

A story of the First Fleet, from the acclaimed author of My Mother's Eyes and Angel Of Kokoda. Beth is a child convict, caught stealing on the streets of London and sent to Australia on the First Fleet. Through Beth's story, we discover the unbearable hardships those first convicts suffered, not only on the long journey to Sydney Cove but also in the two years of near-famine following their arrival. The story also explores the new arrivals' relationship with the Indigenous population, and the devastation that the Europeans brought with them. But through Beth's experiences we also see the sense of hope that many in the new colony held for the future, and how they survived - and in some cases thrived. This moving story, illustrated with Mark Wilson's beautifully crafted and evocative artwork, was inspired by the experiences of Elizabeth Hayward, the youngest female convict with the First Fleet, and the journals of naval officer William Bradley and Arthur Bowes Smyth, the surgeon and artist from the First Fleet vessel 'Lady Penrhyn'.

A history of juvenile crime, punishment, and reform in England in the years before, during, and after the era of Charles Dickens. How were juvenile delinquents dealt with in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? What dire circumstances led to their behavior? Were the efforts to curb their criminal tendencies successful? From 1820–1920, ideas about youth and transgression changed dramatically in the United Kingdom. Criminal Children delves into this period to uncover fascinating insight into the neglected subject of childhood crime and punishment, and the “invention” of juvenile delinquency. Drawing on the life stories of twenty-four “bad seeds,” true crime journalists Emma Watkins and Barry Godfrey explore every aspect of these young and desperate lives: their experiences in prisons, reformatory schools, industrial schools, borstals, and female factories; their trials and criminal petitions; and the harrowing transport to Australia—considered the last resort for adult convicts and children alike. Including resources for researching one’s own criminal forebears, Criminal Children is “an interesting book to anybody who wants to know more about juvenile offenders in England” (Nell Darby, author of Life on the Victorian Stage).

Set in England & Australia 1837 to Bathurst in 1850's & 60's. "Mattie" is the story of a girl who is typical of the many convicts who came to Australia during its first 75 years. Mattie was born in England and spent the first of her childhood in a foundling home. She was taken from the home and put to work on a dairy farm, a cold and uncomfortable life. In 1837 her master charged her with stealing when she took some food to feed some hungry children and was convicted to serve seven years in New South Wales, arriving in 1838. In the gaol she meets some unpleasant women but also finds a friend who becomes a mother figure for her. Peg, who is an aristocrat, had been charged with murdering her husband, and until Mattie comes into her life had given up the desire to live. She had been sentenced to death but the sentence changed to life imprisonment. She finds Mattie a nice child who is totally untaught and so she sets about teaching her to read from the only possession she has, her Bible. The Bible is a small one that she is able to keep secreted in her pocket, and on the occasions that there is enough light in the cell she teaches the child to spell, read and learn some of the decencies of life. Quite an achievement in those conditions, but a true scenario as this was often the only book accessible and those lucky enough to learn to read often did so from a bible. On the voyage out, during a storm, a passenger falls and breaks a leg. This passenger has a small baby and the surgeon asks Peg to take over the nursing care of the passenger, Mrs Proudfoot and her little boy. She refuses and suggests that Mattie be given the chance, insisting that she is an intelligent and willing girl. So Mattie's life changes dramatically. Peg dies and Mattie is left entirely in the care of Sue Proudfoot. Peg gives instructions to the surgeon to see that Mattie gets her precious Bible when she dies. The Chaplain of the ship, the Rev Mr Goodes, his wife and the surgeon who all help to look after Sue Proudfoot, take great notice of Mattie and all contribute to her further education. On arrival in Sydney, as Sue is still incapacitated, she persuades her husband, who has made a home for her on the Hawkesbury, to take Mattie with them to be nursemaid to the baby. Mattie spends her adolescent years in the Proudfoot home very happily looking after the first and subsequent children. Mattie then meets Jim Saunders who, with his father have a store in the local town. the Story continues in Bathurst and the goldfields up there and follows the growth of that area.
