"The year Mum died and Dad went mad I was packed off to live on a farm for a while"
SANDY WILL TELL YOU: he looks like an ordinary kid on the outside, but inside, he's a time bomb. Ever since his mum died, and his father starts slacking off on the dad front, he's felt lit-up by a barely-contained rage.
After an ugly showdown at school he gets sent to stay at his aunt and uncle's Taranaki farm. "Going agricultural" is bad enough for a city kid, but worse: his rellies are members of a unusual group who follow the teachings of poet William Blake. Branded "cultie" along with his cousins at the country school, Sandy reckons you can't go much lower. Then events on the farm, and at school camp, show Sandy more about his own strengths than he ever thought possible.
This is the story of how a boy faces up to a season of disasters: some of his own making, some brought upon him by others. Told with gentle humour And did those feet... is an outstanding novel from award-winning writer Ted Dawe.
