The Rabbit Proof Fence

Molly is a 14 year old "half-caste". She has an Aboriginal mother and a British father. Molly, her sister and her younger cousin are taken to a village and they have trouble fitting into the British culture and Molly really doesn't like for the white man Mr. Neville. When Molly finally has had enough she grabs her sister and her cousin and makes a run for it to a near by forest (her sister and cousin were reluctant at first but then went ahead with Molly). Molly is a good tracker and she uses this skill to help her and her sister and cousin to dodge the other tracker which is trying to find them by planning the escape in the rain and walking through the river. With that she has proved herself to be a hero even though she knows the consequences she still stands for what she believes in and helps her sister and cousin get back home.
