Blue Dog by Louis de Bernières
3.0
A prequel to Bernères' Red Dog, Blue Dog is a children/YA book guaranteed to also charm the adults. It's a simple and at times moving story of coming of age in the outback of Western Australia.
There is much Australian slang peppered throughout but that doesn't distract too much. My only real gripe is with the few mentions of "sissies" and what "real men" should or shouldn't do.
Very enjoyable on the whole, though.
The illustrations are lovely.
