The bomb.
Written by Sacha Cotter.
Illustrated by Josh Morgan.
Huia, 2018.
Published, and on the USBBY list, as Cannonball.
In this story about being true to oneself, a boy searches
for the secret to doing the perfect bomb into the water. With training from
Nan, an expert and former champion, and by listening to his own voice, he finds
his unique style and pulls off a wonderful, acrobatic, truly awe-inspiring bomb.
A glorious book – and an amazing Nan!
