The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf by Ambelin Kwaymullina
Walker Books, 2012. ISBN 9781921720086.
(Ages: 14+) Recommended. Ashala Wolf is the leader of a tribe of
illegals hiding in the Firstwood. Now she has been captured by Chief
Administrator Neville Rose. He is intent on destroying all illegals
especially Ashala's tribe. To avoid getting caught she tried to kill
herself and almost succeeded but instead she is now injured and
vulnerable. And with her Sleepwalker ability blocked she has no way
of escaping. Ashala is forced to give up her tribe's secrets to a
machine that can pull the memories from her mind. While her
betrayer, Justin Connor, is right beside he, watching her every
move.
Ashala loves her tribe and the Firstwood, it hurts her to think that
because of this machine she is betraying them. This is a great new
series. With unexpected twists and a continuous sense of suspense it
kept me reading till the end. I would recommend reading this book
and I hope the future books in this series are just as good as this
one.
