Lulu Bell And The Sea Turtle (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Dad carefully packed up his fishing gear and stowed it under the seat. He hadn’t caught any fish. Anthony stowed his fish in a bucket. Dad fired up the engine. To get back to Ardyaloon, they had to navigate in a loop around the rocks and sandbanks. The boats chugged slowly. They were having trouble making headway against the strong rush of the tide. The water gushed and surged, swirling in eddies. The boat was tossed from side to side. It was a long ride back towards shore. After a while, Anthony turned his boat towards a small deserted island. It rose straight from the sea, rocky and barren. Lulu could see a small beach of powdery white sand. The rocks were banded in rusty red, topped with a haze of greenery. Dad followed Anthony’s lead. They steered the boats under a rock overhang. ‘Look up,’ called the boys from the boat in front. Lulu craned her head upwards. There were paintings on the rocky roof. Figures were marked in red and cream ochre and black charcoal. She could tell they were sea creatures – stingrays, sharks, dolphins, fish, turtles and whales.
