Notes:
When a family tragedy means Mick is sent to the outback to live with his Granpa, it looks as if he has a lonely life ahead of him. The cattle station is a tough place for a child, where nature is brutal and the men must work hard in the heat and dust. However, after a cyclone hits, things change for Mick. Exploring the floodwaters, he finds a lost puppy covered in mud and half drowned. Mick and his dog soon become inseparable as they take on the adventures offered as their unusual home, and the business of growing up together.

This is delightful, deeply moving without being mawkishly sentimental, beautifully written. Freed from the constraints of a film script- see the film Red Dog - the author shows us what he can do with plot, West Australian terrain, a coming-of-age and …. a dog. Charming.
