The Watertower
Author(s): Gary Crew
20th Anniversary Edition. Selected School Library Journal Best Book of the Year. Winner of the Australian Children's Picture Book of the Year Award. Nobody in Preston could remember when the watertower was built, or who had built it, but there it stood on Shooter's Hill—its iron legs rusted, its egg-shaped tank warped and leaking—casting a long dark shadow across the valley, across Preston itself.
Review(s):
"...a genuinely eerie picture book."
The Watertower... continues to attract interest - and readers. Crew, a prestidigitator of words, has managed to work his magic...
"It would be an understatement to describe this book as unusual... a "must purchase."
... text and illustrations work inseparably to create a strange but compelling whole.
