Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A beautiful new novel from the author of "The Riders" and "Dirt Music". Told with immediacy and grace, it's the story of lost youth recollected, its attractions, its compulsions and its moments of heartbreak and madness. A major new work from an exceptional author, it will be supported by blanket review and feature coverage throughout the media, and a massive promotional push through 2008. 4 of Winton's backlist are also reissued this month with brand new covers.

Publisher's description:

Bruce Pike, or 'Pikelet', has lived all his short life in a tiny sawmilling town from where the thundering sea can be heard at night. He longs to be down there on the beach, amidst the pounding waves, but for some reason his parents forbid him. It's only when he befriends Loonie, the local wild boy, that he finally defies them.
