Description 270 page ; 20 cm Summary It's a hot summer, and life's going all right for Jackson and his family on the Mish. It's almost Christmas, school's out, and he's hanging with his mates, teasing the visiting tourists, avoiding the racist boys in town. Just like every year, Jackson's Aunty and annoying little cousins visit from the city but this time a mysterious boy with a troubled past comes with them. As their friendship evolves, Jackson must confront the changing shapes of his relationships with his friends, family and community. And he must face his darkest secret, a secret he thought he'd locked away for good Analysis Australian Audience For young adults Notes Shortlisted by the Children's Book Council of Australia for the 2022 Book of the Year Award for Older Readers Subject Cousins -- Fiction Friendship -- Fiction Identity (Psychology) in adolescence -- Fiction Gays -- Fiction Closeted LGBTQ+ people -- Juvenile fiction Cousins -- Juvenile fiction Gay teenagers -- Juvenile fiction Gays -- Juvenile fiction Young adult fiction Aboriginal Australians -- Juvenile fiction Boys -- Juvenile fiction Australian fiction Families -- Juvenile fiction Coming out (Sexual orientation) -- Juvenile fiction Identity (Psychology) in adolescence -- Juvenile fiction Friendship -- Juvenile fiction Aboriginal Australians -- Missions -- Juvenile fiction Families, Aboriginal Australian -- Juvenile fiction Identity (Psychology) -- Juvenile fiction Self-confidence in adolescence -- Juvenile fiction Bildungsromans First loves -- Juvenile fiction Secrecy -- Juvenile fiction Cousins.
