The Dreams Of Summer Dartson - Paperback

In a coastal town in Western Australia, six white and indigenous teenagers form a binding friendship as they experience the joys and pains of adolescence. Thrown together at school, deep friendships develop into unbreakable bonds. In 2022 they form a group dedicated to making sense of their lives as they embark on a series of adventures that test the limits of their endurance on the journey to becoming men.

When the youngest of them, Mozzie Buzzacott, is found dead 100 metres below the Kalbarri Skywalk on 4 January 2025, they have a mystery to solve and a murder to avenge. Artistic Summer Dartson is their visionary and a dreamer, Spanner O'Toole has engineering skills, Willie Mack is their scribe and wit, Bones Scully their runner and Tiny Jameson is their leader, guide and guardian. He drives an old Jeep Wrangler and is two years their senior.

That extensive part of the west coast is difficult for the Australian Border Force to patrol. It has become a gateway for the drug smuggling cartels. The five surviving members of the group pit their wits against the latest murderous drug smugglers, and win.
