Western Australian author. Abel Jackson loves to dive. He's a natural in the water. He can't remember a time when he couldn't use a mask and snorkel to glide down into the clear deep. Life is tough out at Longboat Bay. Every day the boy helps his mother earn their living from the sea and the land. It's hard work but Abel has the bush and the sky and the bay to himself. Until the day he meets Blueback, the fish that changes his life.

#BookMail Pt4 is another edition to add to my collection of Penguin Australian Children‘s Classics. I‘m still searching for Taronga by Victor Kelleher, Power Of One by Bryce Courtenay & I Can Jump Puddles by Alan Marshall. This one is a beautiful short story by Tim Winton, about a young boy who dives for abalone to make ends meet. He makes friends with a giant blue groper, but developers want to turn the quiet bay into a tourist spot.
