He's sick of being the little brother, left out of all the interesting stuff the older kids get up to. So when he meets Damon he's keen to impress him. It's all going well, until Damon suggests they break into the church. Aaron's nervous and uncomfortable. But he can't back out now--he's only just beginning to be accepted. When the theft is reported in the local newspaper and the police knock on the door, Aaron finds himself hiding the truth in a tangle of lies. And before long his deep sense of guilt and fear of being found out overwhelm him. And then, when he discovers that the mudcod in the old bath in the backyard--the fish he'd caught in the river in the rainforest--are the rainfish of local legend, he becomes convinced that he is responsible for the terrible rainstorms and floods that devastate the town-- $c Publisher description. 650 0 $a Social acceptance $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Theft $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Rain and rainfall $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Guilt $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Queensland $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Fiction. 650 0 $a Juvenile works. 650 0 $a Novels. 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220909011434.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220802023053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4A6D830122B11EDB028045E3CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
