Bamba Beach

A poignant, contemporary family story set in Goa, India, written by Pratima Mitchell. Hari’s family make their living from fishing, but with no fish left in the bay, times are really hard. To catch the fish further away they need a better boat, but to get a better boat they need to sell fish… Despite family feuds and village superstitions standing in his way, Hari doesn’t give up, and it isn’t long before help arrives from the most unlikely source. This thought-provoking story from Pratima Mitchell has engaging black-and-white illustrations by David Dean and is perfect for children who are developing as readers.
