By the River

I've added this book to my favourites. It is sublime! The story of Harry Hodby, his father and brother Keith living in a small town somewhere in Australia. The scenery is described in poetry like prose as they live, fight, play and work in their community along with a mix of likeable and unlikeable characters. Funny at times and also sad at others, I highly recommend this book.

Kearsten says: I liked this – it's a fast read, and contains some profound thoughts from a 14 yr old boy.

I liked this – fast read and some profound thoughts from a 14 yr old.

Life is hard here. Periodically the river rises and floods this little Australian town.

A beautiful poem of a book.

I didn't think I'd like this book. I was wrong - I loved it. Deeply moving.

A fast paced read. A little deeper and heartfelt than 'Naked Bunyip Dancing'. The Latter is a great read aloud book
