104 pages. Robert's greatest wish was to be like his three older brothers. John, Martin, and Terry were all big and brown and muscly, brilliant at school and successful at sport, especially at competitive swimming, which they all enjoyed. But at ten years old Robert saw himself as pale and skinny and hopeless. And he was sick of always being left behind. His life started to change when, in an effort to build up his muscles, he decided to take up weight-lifting. But it didn‘t always change in the way he wanted. For Robert was accident prone, and in spite of his best efforts most of his exploits ended in disaster . . .that is, until he managed to prove to his brothers that being small and skinny does have its advantages. This lively story, set in the lush countryside of the Australian river land, provides a light-hearted but sensitive glimpse at some of the trials of growing up. Plenty of excitement and adventure, and a host of true-to-life characters, will make this prize-winning novel a delight for every young reader. A children's book. Ex lib.
