A boy, a mum, a fish, a lifelong love of the ocean. ( )

A story reflecting the author's love of the sea with a message for conservation. I think written for younger readers but can be appreciated by anyone. ( )

Reminds me of my relationship with my eldest disgusted Maisy who loves snorkeling and swimming with me in the ocean. ( )

This is a little fable by Tim Winton, and even though I really don't like Tim Winton, or his writing style, I liked this book.

I really don't want to go into too much detail because it's almost a novella and a children's book so to go into the plot would really spoil the story. But it's a very vivid and colourful story about a boy and a fish he names Blueback.

Winton has a really strong connection with the sea and surf culture and he has a great respect for it, and I think that's evident in this little story. c: ( )

I thought that blue back was a heart touching book that was about a boy growing up near the sea and he has this amazing relationship with a groper a great big blue fish as hey both grow up.
