Will Monckton ran away at age 13 and joined the bushranger Captain Thunderbolt for a life of crime because it seemed better than being abused by his stepfather. He rode with the outlaw for almost a year before being captured and sentenced to 6 years imprisonmnet with 1 year of hard labour. He was 14 years old. This is a fictionalised account of the author's great grandfather's life set in the Australian bush of the 1860s.
