Alex Jackson : Closing Out

Rain May and her mum escape their old inner-city life for a dream house in the country. But there are more than a few suprises in store - like discovering a platypus or the fun of fridge poetry and phenomenally bright eleven-year-old, Captain Daniel, who lives next door. Together these unlikely friends adventure where no one has gone before. The waves, why are they breaking so suddenly? asked Alex. "It's going from deep to shallow water real quick. It's called closing out. If you get caught under it pins you down." One minute Alex is a kid, the next he's searching for deep water - searching to become a man, to know how to treat the girl he loves. In this final instalment of the Alex Jackson series, Alex skates his way through the toughest course of all - life.
