In this Australian verse novel, Luke plans for the future but keeps his feelings quiet. Casey longs for freedom from a stifling family. Bongo pines for a home and for the brother he has lost. In spare, effective entries, the three friends take turns sharing their stories with the reader, from their final year of school to the day that ultimately brings them back together.
