This book is written for my two grandsons from my heart. May you always remember the words.

It's got penguins and toasted sandwiches. It's got a dead cat and an incredible climax. It's got a really little dolphin. It's got sea lions. It's got God. It's got a really cool lighthouse. When Nige runs over a Norwegian backpacker while attempting to save petrol, his life really turns to shit. He throws the body in a nearby road works and runs to his best mate of fifteen years, Deano. The trouble is, Deano's not really the guy you should turn to in a crisis.

A boy is nervous about a presentation he has to give at school.

Two young men, Jim, the naive, scholarly son of a Dublin shopkeeper, and Doyler, a rough working boy, struggle with issues of political, religious, and sexual identity in the year leading up to the Easter uprising of 1916.

An adventure story which includes much nature lore and woodcraft instruction.

Counts things associated with a harvest feast in colonial Plymouth Colony, including pilgrims, Wampanoags, nuts, squash, and, of course, turkeys.
