A remarkable YA love story between two Aboriginal boys -- one who doesn't want to accept he's gay, and the boy who comes to live in his house who makes him realize who he is.It's a hot summer, and life's going all right for Jackson and his family on the Mish. It's almost Christmas, school's out, and he's hanging with his mates, teasing the visiting tourists, and avoiding the racist boys in town. Just like every year, Jackson's Aunty and annoying little cousins visit from the city -- but this time a mysterious boy with a troubled past comes with them. As their friendship evolves, Jackson must confront the changing shapes of his relationships with his friends, family, and community. And he must face his darkest secret -- a secret he thought he'd locked away for good.

"I really loved this! Sometimes I struggle with books that don’t have much of a plot but while not a lot was happening in this book, the simple nature of the story really made Jackson’s journey to finding and embracing his identity beautiful and heart wrenching! I especially loved the parts of the story that explored the aboriginal culture and I’d love to read more stories like this!"
