Three children go to the shop to buy ice-cream and never return
home. The year is 1977. Nine-year-old Adrian lives with his gran
and his uncle Rory. He loves to draw and he wants a dog. He's
afraid of quicksand, shopping centers and self-combustion. But as
closely as he watches his suburban world, there is much he cannot
understand. He does not, for instance, know why three neighbourhood
children might set out to buy ice-cream one summer's day and never
be seen again... In this suburb that is no longer safe and
innocent, in a broken family of self-absorbed souls, Sonya Hartnett
sets the story of a lone little boy - unwanted, unloved and
intensely curious - a story as achingly beautiful as it is
shattering. As her quiet tale ominously unfolds, we are reminded of
how fragile are the threads that hold us secure - and how brave,
how precious, is the heart of each child who soldiers on.
