Description du livre
How can 12-year-old Alan find happiness in a world that's fallen apart for him?
Where has his mum gone and why?
Living with sour Aunt Jessie at the Boomerang Milkbar is no fun in spite of nearby Coogee Beach. Alan misses his mother and two brothers, and big sister Desley's visits don't help. At his new school there's a bully, and even when he surfs with new friends, Alan is on the look-out for trouble.
Then the juke box and rock'n'roll arrive at the Boomerang, and everything changes.
