The Watertower

32 pp. | Crocodile | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-56656-233-3
(2) 4-6 When two boys take a swim in the old water tower in their small Australian town, something eerie happens to one of them. This unusual sci-fi story raises more questions than it answers and clearly pushes at the traditional boundaries for picture-book audience. The unsettlingly realistic paintings incorporate a number of clues literally and symbolically to heighten the mystery.
