Description 393 pages ; 20 cm regular print Summary The little girl found under a bush has no name and cannot speak. Is she a miracle child who escaped the raiders, or is she a bad-luck child, the one who called the Bull King's ship to the island? No one sees the mama-stone around her neck, with the sign of the dragonfly. And only Luki, in training to leap the bulls, knows that she charmed the viper who would have killed him. When the girl turns twelve, she discovers her name - Aissa - and she knows that her one chance to live freely is to become a bull dancer, and be taken away to the island of the Bull King Analysis Australian Australian fiction Notes Record machine-generated from publisher information Audience 9 - 13 years Notes Shortlisted for the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Award 2017, Younger Readers Subject Australian fiction -- 21st century.
