My recommended book for teenage boys would be Kings in Grass Castles by Mary Durack.  As a migrant to Australia I read it soon after I arrived.  It’s a great story of an Irish migrant family and their story about establishing a dynasty in the Kimberly in Western Australia.  From the early days settling in NSW Southern Highlands, to Wester Queensland and then being the first people to drive cattle across the Northern Territory into the Kimberley.  This book is a great read for any migrant to understand what people when thru in settling this country and it’s agreat book for any young Australian to understand what the early settlers went thru in settling the country.
