The cover is one of my favourites. I have opened the book in different places to read and each page drew me into the story. The main character is a young boy called Jimmy and it is told from his point of view. It is not childish chatter as he views his world and the troubles that accompany it but offers language to engage a mature audience.
The Eye of the Sheep is the 2015 winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award.
