5.0 out of 5 stars
Eerie and true,
By
This review is from: First Light (Hardcover)
First Light won the Australian Children's Book of the Year Award Picturebook category in 1994, but it isn't a book for small children. Gary Crew excels at writing eerie stories for boys.A boy, perhaps in his early teens, enjoys working on models. But his father, who got out more when *he* was young, believes that what he needs is to go out fishing on the bay before first light. There are stranger things in the bay than either of them know, and through their experience they learn both awe and to understand each other a little better. Peter Gouldthorpe's large illustrations are magnificent and evocative, showing scenes above and below the waterline.
