Review
Billy Wheatley is not your average kid. A bit on the loner
side, Billy likes to explore Silverlea beach and likes to do research on
hermit-crabs at a place he calls the rock-pools. Living with his dad, Billy
feels he can’t measure up to his dad’s expectations, especially when it comes
to surfing. Young Billy hates the water. He has an unnatural fear of surfing, a
bit of discourse between father and son. Things get stranger when a teenage
girl goes missing. Billy becomes his own detective, trying to solve the case,
but trouble is just around the corner as he begins pointing the finger to a
suspect. Things get crazier as Billy’s dad becomes more obtrusive. As Billy
unravels the mystery and gets himself into trouble with the law, Billy’s dad
has a new mission – force Billy to surf and face his fears. But does Billy have
a right to be afraid of the water. Things are not what they seem.
THE THINGS YOU FIND IN ROCKPOOLS by Gregg Dunnett was a good
read with a few unexpected twists. I thoroughly enjoyed this fishy tale.
