Author: Jonathan Burton Peters Jr
ISBN: 979-8-89372-232-1

A young man named Jasper discovers a young joey kangaroo one day while out on a hunt and saves it from the dingoes. After rescuing the kangaroo he decides to raise it himself, since the mother had abandoned it. Years later he will be shocked to find out why it was abandoned, since this kangaroo in particular seems to have grown bigger then any kangaroo the boy had ever seen before. Soon the kangaroo outgrows Jasper’s shack, so both decide that they should find some place better. The day Jasper mounts Kaylia’s back will change his life, for that day he discovered that if you had a way to hold on it was actually possible to mount the kangaroo and ride it.

Soon after while in one of the local towns the head of the messenger services in their realm notices Jasper and his mount, and decides that the boy would be able to make a fairly decent messenger. So he inquires the boy about becoming a messenger to run mail and scrolls around their country of Northern Austra while astride the back of his giant kangaroo.

Meanwhile, Jasper also eventually tries to seek out the other giant kangaroos in an effort to be able to release Kaylia back into the wild, so that she can return to where she belongs and have her freedom as he believes she could. At the time he doesn’t believe that she belongs with him, since she should be free and be able to live in the wild as a wild kangaroo. For he knows that if she would have never been attacked by the dingoes that she would have grown up as a wild, and free giant kangaroo. Jasper will do all he can to try to get the chance to release Kaylia back into the wild, if that’s even possible.
