Even on the dark days, birds still sing

Luke and his big brother Ben spend the summer on the banks of Cabbage Tree Creek. Quiet Luke sketches birds, while Ben leaps off the Jumping Tree. The boys couldn't be more different, but they share a special bond.

When a local competition to win a boat is announced, the brothers spring into action, dreaming of exploring the creek together. But then Ben starts high school, bringing unfamiliar changes into their lives. Slowly, the boys start to drift apart as the contest approaches. Can their unique friendship survive?

 
 

Review

For everyone whose brother is a hero, even if they don't know it yet -- Morris Gleitzman, author of the Once Series

This story about birdwatching, being different and the bond between brothers is told in Peter's lovely gentle way and it's a real treat. Kids will love it -- Karen Foxlee, author of Dragon Skin

How I love this book. Peter Carnavas is a wizard with words and a master of character... My Brother Ben is absolutely bursting with heart, and with the kind of quiet power of the very best books, the ones that leave an indelible mark -- Meg McKinlay, author of To Catch a Falling Star

There should be more books like this: gentle books that draw us slowly in and make us want to linger, books fashioned with kindness and family at their heart -- Glenda Millard, author of The Naming of Tishin Silk
