Blueback

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.

Blueback is an achingly beautiful tale about the beauty to be found in a life led simply but meaningfully in tune with nature and the environment. It’s the story of Abel and his lifelong friend.
