Julie, M. (2007). Venus Bay. Australia: Tomson Learning Australia.
I’m interested in this book because the story about two siblings. I grew up as the second daughter of two siblings. When I was a child I sometimes quarreled with my sister, but I like her very much. Now, she lives in Chiba, so I can’t see her. I miss her. My sibling is precious to me.
Holly’s family went to Venus Bay. Jake was Holly’s brother. Holly had seen a side of she didn’t like. He had decided that Holly was weak. She tried to tell him she wasn’t weak, but he wouldn’t listen. He was up on his board surfing, while she couldn’t even stand up on hers. He had fallen off his board before the wave reached her. He was drowning in the bay, so she raced into the water. She could help him. Their father called an ambulance. At the hospital, she sat close to Joke. He said “I’m sorry I ever said you were weak, Holly. If it wasn’t for your strength, I wouldn’t be here at all.” She said “I’m glad you are.” She meant it with all her heart.
I thought that this was a moving story. They elevated their mind, and they needed each other. They could enjoy their life through siblings’ help. I remembered my sister when I read the book. I felt an obligation to her for the kindness. I believe that my sister is my treasure forever ;)
