Emily, at 12, surprisingly and unwillingly finds herself transported back to a time of her aboriginal ancestors But these ancestors are in trouble. Can she, along with her young cousin, Robert, and her troublesome brother, Jamie, be of help? Is she merely lost in a dream? Perhaps. Or maybe not. The answers are within the Secret of the Shell.
At the age of fifteen, these young men, through a messy thumb-pricking ceremony, swore allegiance to each other for life. By nineteen, they had gone their separate ways. Twelve years later, they find themselves together again, ostensibly for the wedding of one of their former mates. What character-changing tales do they remember from those early days growing up in their coastal town during the 50s and 60s? As they find out, via a postwedding gathering of the Harbour Rats, many very personal incidents are revealedincidents that the others never knew. Stories of misadventure, romance, terror, and mysticism. Stories that shaped their futures. Stories that bound them together again. There are no friends quite like the first ones.
