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.
