The summer of 1912 is a summer of freedom and discovery for Malte, the young boy who roams the beaches and observes the complicated world of adults around him. He daydreams, craeting fantasty worlds of ships sailing to exotic lands. But one day he finds a coffin on the beach, with the body of a sailor inside, and he starts to learn the secret story of the amber collector who made his fortune combing the beach for sea gold.

Given away at March Melbourne Meetup. Enjoy!

This book was left in a medical waiting room and kept faithfully by the receptionist without reading the bookcrossing label, for the owner to return and ask for it. NINE months later I picked it up to see what book it was and discovered the label. That night I logged onto bookcrossing, and became instantly hooked. I will read it and re-release it soon.
