When Olivia's life is packed away into cardboard boxes and shipped from England to the other side of the world, she's certain her story has come to an end. Her best friend, her school, her favourite streets - all left behind. Landing in Australia feels like stepping onto another planet: the sun blazes too hot, the birds call in strange voices, and even her new house feels hollow and unfamiliar. But little by little, Olivia discovers that home isn't always where you start, in fact it's what you build along the way. Between golden beaches, awkward first days at school, and the laughter she shares with a new friend named Ava, she learns that courage doesn't mean you're never afraid, but it means daring to grow, even when everything feels new. Olivia in Oz is a tender, hopeful story about friendship, resilience, and the magic of finding a place to belong.
