A stirring tribute from the granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King. Yolanda King is ready to lead in this powerful picture book text! She shows the world that young people are strong enough to carry on their elders’ legacy while creating a new path for themselves.

• A backmatter note from Yolanda’s parents peel back the curtain on what it takes to raise a modern activist, and what we can all do to help make the world a better place.

• Quotes by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King are woven into the narrative, providing historical relevance and heft.

Victoria Street is a crossroads, like in those old stories of bushrangers and highwaymen. It’s a place where everyone and everything crosses paths ... A street right out of a fairytale, I reckon.

It’s 1973, and 11-year-old Billie is living in the best street in the whole world: Victoria Street in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Billie can’t imagine being anywhere else.

But things are changing. Billie’s neighbours are being forced out of their homes, and scary people are patrolling the street, trying to get everyone to leave. Without realising it, Billie, her family and her neighbours find themselves caught up in one of the most important public protests in Sydney’s history. The battle for Victoria Street is their fight to save their homes and their way of life from destruction.

Merida understands that as princess of Clan DunBroch, she has certain obligations, but that doesn’t mean she has to like it. Determined to chart her own path, Merida follows magical wisps to a witch’s cottage, where she is given a tiny cake and promised it will incite ‘a great transformation’ in her mother. But instead of feeding Elinor the witch’s cake, Merida eats it herself. Merida awakens in the past, with a teenage Elinor holding a knife to her throat and accusing her of espionage. And it just so happens that the timing of Merida’s arrival has kept Elinor and Fergus from meeting. Will Merida be able to bridge the rival clans, help her parents fall in love and change her own fate?
