Summary
Ned Kelly was a thief, a bank robber and a murderer. He was in trouble with the law from the age of 12. He stole hundreds of horses and cattle. He robbed two banks. He killed three men.
Yet, when Ned was sentenced to death, thousands of people rallied to save his life. He stood up to the authorities and fought for what he believed in. He defended the rights of people who had no power.
Was he a villain? Or a hero? What do you think?

Factually, simple and without bias, Black Snake presents the circumstances behind the events as well as the conflicts between the personalities.' (Magpies Magazine)
'Author Carole Wilkinson aimed Black Snake squarely at the late primary/early secondary level and succeeded where others had failed.' (IronOutlaw)
