"Beautiful words for a beautiful theme."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

For me (the matriarch!) to my eight great grandchildren, this book is a little treasure. It's literary use of imagery is very moving and the story would touch any heart. Unforgettable!

Description

Abel Jackson has lived by the sea at Longboat Bay ever since he could remember. He helps his mother each day and loves to dive. One day he meets Blueback, the biggest and most beautiful fish he's ever seen.

When Abel's mother is approached by developers she decides she must do something to protect their fragile piece of coastline, But can Abel and his mother save Blueback and Longboat Bay in time?

An achingly beautiful story about family, belonging and living a life in tune with the environment, from one of Australia's best-loved authors.
