Summary
Storm boy lives with his recluse father, Tom, on the Coorong, a hundred kilometre stretch of beautiful windswept dunes where the Murray River meets the sea. Here his spirit roams with his pet pelican, Mr Percival and his Aboriginal friend, Fingerbone Bill. He knows no other world. Suddenly, there are intruders, the local teacher who wants him to attend school, a resentful wild-life ranger and duck hunters. Storm Boy is forced to choose between a life of continued isolation and the challenges of the outside world
