Synopsis

Two stories from one of Australia’s master storytellers. In “Draining the Lake”, two boys discover what they think to be the Lost City of Atlantis, submerged in a spooky lake near their town. They alert the press and are poised for fame and fortune. What could possibly go wrong? In “The Family Business”, Elvis impersonator dad hatches a scheme for a new act, featuring his stage-shy son as Young Elvis. The son pretends to go along with it, but has a different act in mind, which doesn’t quite go to plan.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Archimede Fusillo, the son of Italian migrants, was born and grew up in Melbourne. Surrounded by wonderful storytellers, he learnt early on the value of stories in shaping our lives and connecting people, irrespective of backgrounds.Success with short stories about growing up in a multi-cultural Melbourne led Archie to try his hand at writing a novel. In 1997 his first novel, Sparring With Shadows, was a Notable Children's Book Council of Australia book and went on to be shortlisted for the Italy in the World Literature Awards. He followed this up with The Dons and later Last of the Braves, among others.Apart from writing full time, Archie loves fishing with his son, shopping with his wife and daughter, and getting away to the Victorian south coast as often as his busy travelling schedule and domineering cat allow.
