Short summary

Storm Boy lives with his dad in a humpy by the beach in South Australia. He rescues three baby pelicans and one of them, Mr Percival, becomes his best friend.

Did you like this book?

Yes, but it was sadder than I expected. I liked all the descriptions of the Coorong and the sea.

Would you recommend it to a friend?

yes — It is Australian and short and the pelican is awesome.
