The Shack by the Bay by Lea Davey

4.0

Luke was only six years old when he went to live with his grandparents after his father was killed in a terrible car accident. Luke adored his grandparents and he particularly loved going fishing with his Pa. Pa taught Luke all there was to know about fishing and the pair spent as much time as they could doing something they both loved.

But sadly ten years on and his grandparents passed away, which deeply upset Luke. Life would no longer be the same without his Nan and Pa, but Luke would now have to find the strength to try and get on with his life the best way he knew how. Leaving him the shack a place they all holidayed at regularly, which was located in the Whitsunday Islands.

The shack was a place Luke could just escape to and not have a care in the world. Luke comes across things that belong to his father and amongst the items he finds old war relics. These items intrigue him and he wants to know more about their history which might lead him to learn more things about his father. When Luke comes across a beautiful girl named Lily he instantly feels a strong connection toward her, but why?

I totally enjoyed this book from start to finish. A story that leaves you wanting more is always a great book in my opinion and this was truly a great and very enjoyable read. Highly recommended.
