- Summary:
- From the day he is born, Abel Jackson lives for and from the sea. Throughout his childhood, Abel and his mother depend upon the quiet and bountiful waters along the coast of Western Australia for their very livelihood. Early on, while diving for abalone, Abel befriends an immense fish who lives in his cove. Throughout his life, Abel relies on the sage advice of the groper he names Blueback. Blueback helps Abel to understand that his life's calling is to uncover the secrets of the sea. And it is Blueback who gives Abel the strength and inspiration to return as an adult and save his homestead. Blueback is a tale of friendship, commitment, love of nature, and a quest for knowledge.
