    Masterfully woven!
  

*by S***0 on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2018*

OMG, This book is amazing! I so thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down.I LOVE how Dave wove together the elements of magical wee folk, the deep ancestors of the Tasmanian land, the angst of being a teen trying to fit in, and the unique characteristics of a small island community. Not to mention the nuances of fishing and seamanship. He did a brilliant job of expressing the deep energies running through the story.And, having lived on Flinders for 5 years, I have to say he really caught the flavor of the place and the people, from walking the bush track, the tiny airport, the local school, and the characters.I was especially impressed with the change in perspective throughout the book, giving me backstory, and helping me to understand the little helper that traveled with the main character.

    This is how it's done
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018*

Wow. Just wow! This is how you write a coming-of-age story. No Marty-Stu kid who breezes through everything but a "real" boy struggling to become a man. The setting subtly becomes a character in its own right; you are not bludgeoned with it (I'm looking at you Ms. Describe Every Leaf and you Mr. GPS Driving Directions). It just comes alive and takes part in the story. Absolutely brilliant.This is not the sort of book I usually read. I bought it because I've liked other books by Mr. Freer. It's the best book I've read this year (granted, it's only February, but let's go with "last 12 months", shall we). I actually hope there is not a sequel. It stands well on its own and the story is told.I'm sick to death of the Hero's Journey. So much so that I'm tempted to write a series of short stories in which our intrepid hero dies nastily at the beginning. This is not a Hero's Journey. It's a realistic character dealing with teenage issues - and not in that horrible, trite angsty way that is so common (although there is a bit of that; he is a teenager, after all). I cannot recommend this highly enough, especially since I've read that about this book several times and was still reluctant to read it. Read it. Now.Oh, there are a few Australianisms (is too a word) that threw me out of the story, but not many. "I'll see you Monday avro". What the heck is "avro"? There are not many considering the strangely foreign setting (says US reader who knows nothing about Australia).

    Excellent Story!
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019*

Dave's a good writer -- I've read, and very much enjoyed, several of his other books.  But he outdid himself with this one.  It's a coming of age story, set in a small community on Flinders Island, south of Australia (where Dave lives).  But that doesn't begin to cover it.  There's a sweet neighbor girl, and an old grandma who's been alone too long, and good neighbors...and a bad neighbor.  There's a bit of magic, which both causes trouble, and helps when trouble comes along.  Choices to make, growing up to do.  I loved it, and shed a few tears, and wish I could live there, too!
