A boy and a pelican share an extraordinary bond

Vintage Good Condition - Ex-library with protective covering, spine label, school stamp and borrowing pocket. Covering is scuffed and creased with worn corners. Illustrated edition, 1978.

On the remote South Australian coast, a boy lives with his father, Hide-Away Tom, among dunes, sea and wild birds. Known as Storm Boy, he finds companionship in Fingerbone Bill and in the pelicans he rescues, especially the loyal Mr Percival. Their friendship grows within a landscape that can be both beautiful and unforgiving, where human actions threaten the fragile life around them. Colin Thiele's story follows the boy's discovery of responsibility, trust and loss without losing its deep affection for the natural world. Illustrated by John Schoenherr, this Australian classic is a moving account of a child whose bond with a bird changes his life.
