Sly

Meet the Bulli Boys . . .

'I denied Sly Fox at least three times before I was caught being his friend . . . The illicitness made it all the more precious. To think now that we were just six years old.'

Sly Fox lives with his one-legged alcoholic father, incontinent Communist grandfather and his dog, Comrade, in a run-down beach shack filled with history you can touch. Intrigued by Sly and his fascinating family history, new boy-in-town Brett "Harry" Harrison strikes up an unlikely and forbidden friendship with him.

Growing up together in the small coastal town of Little Bulli in the early 1970s, the boys discover the delights of sex, drugs and Brandivino. But their great passion is the compelling story of Sly's pioneering ancestors, as revealed by the Fox family chronicles. Their friendship is inviolable, or so they think, until a shocking act of betrayal alters the course of their lives . . .

A humorous and captivating novel by an exciting author, Sly looks for the answers to adulthood in the innocence of youth.
