REVIEWED BY INDI, 9, WA, IONA PRESENTATION COLLEGE
My Brother Ben by Peter Carnavas, University of Queensland Press, ISBN 9780702263330
The publisher provided a review copy of this book.
My Brother Ben is a timeless story of two brothers and a magpie.
Luke is a quiet boy who loves and is very knowledgeable about birds. Ben is starting high school, is adventurous, and both brothers share a dream about exploring Cabbage Tree Creek in a boat of their very own. When Ben starts sneaking out at night, Luke decides to follow him.
This book is a tale of brotherly love, birds and boats. I would recommend this beautiful book to 10 to 110-year-olds who enjoy a book about the bond of family and a tiny bit of mystery.
