Summary Note: "It's a hot summer, and life's going all right for seventeen-year-old Jackson and his family on the Mish. It's almost Christmas, school's out, and he's hanging with his mates, teasing the visiting tourists, avoiding the racists in town. Just like every other year, Jackson's Aunty and annoying little cousins visit from the city - but this time Tomas, with his mysterious and troubled past, comes with them... As their friendship evolves, Jackson must confront the changing shapes of his relationships with his friends, family and community. And he must face his darkest secret - a secret he thought he'd locked away for good." - Back cover. General Note: "It is important for Aboriginal kids to be able to read and love books written by Aboriginal authors – books where they can see themselves in the pages. That’s why I wrote my own queer Indigenous YA novel, the Boy from the Mish." - Gary Lonesborough, the Guardian.
