About the book:
‘What starts as a fun snorkelling adventure quickly becomes a test of character and conscience when Blair loses his brother’s beloved camera under the sea.
Terrified to confess, Blair becomes increasingly wracked with guilt until two very different conversations – one with his great-grandmother and one with his cousin – help him find his way.
A rare gem of a story that perfectly encapsulates the emotional minefield of a mistake and its consequences.’
