This Australian children's classic has now been enchanting children for 60
years. The Colin Thiele classic is also the basis for the recent major
movie remake of Storm Boy starring Jai Courtney and Geoffrey Rush. Storm
Boy is the timeless story of Mike "Storm Boy" Kingley who rescues three
pelican chicks after their mother is shot. One of the birds, Mr Percival,
forms a very special bond with the boy which brings into focus the conflict
between his lifestyle in the remote Coorong of South Australia and the
external pressures of society including his schooling. Treasured by
generations of children, this is a heartwarming- tale about unusual
friendship and unconditional love.
