A FIRST children's novel from this award-winning poet and author, this truly moving story explores a young boy's grief when his mother dies, set against the colourful background of surfing.
Eleven year old Billy's mother has just died and his father isn't coping too well so Billy is sent to stay with dull Auntie Mary.
But, although Billy's mother is dead, her joyful personality pervades the whole story and eventually, through that, Billy manages to transform everyone's life for the better.
A truly lovely book, handling death of a loved one in a sensitive way.
Hardback. Collins Children's Books.
