Into the blue / Cristy Burne ; illustrated by Amanda Burnett. - 99 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm.

Blair takes his brothers GoPro without permission. Snorkelling on the wreck of the Omeo with his cousin, he loses it. Blair wants to confess but is scared of the consequences. When his mother discovers the camera is missing, she blames Blair's brother for being careless, which just compounds Blair's guilt. His brother is really upset about the loss because he has special skateboarding footage on the camera that he was hoping to enter in a competition. Blair discusses his dilemma with his cousin and she reveals a secret of her own. Blair then has a more oblique conversation with his nan that sets him on the right path. In the end, he confesses and accepts his punishment.

6-9 years old.
