Overview
A jock, a try-hard and a space cadet. Highview Grammar will rue the day it put 'History' on the curriculum - because this unlikely trio is starting a revolution. Edward Heffernan wants one thing: to get away from Nolan Li. If he cuts ties with the embarrassing Nolan, his reputation at Highview Grammar can only go up. But when Nolan gets a note from the coolest kid in Year 9, Edward sees a chance to be popular. James Crombie is everything that Edward and Nolan are not, but it turns out this trio have one thing in common: they're all sick of the culture, tradition and rules of their snobby 100-year-old high school. And they're ready to do something about it. A laugh-out-loud debut novel that mixes razor-sharp satire with a rollicking plot and a whole lot of heart. This is a YA coming-of-age caper about accepting yourself just as you are. 'A confident coming-of-age story anchored by three distinct and authentic characters [that] explores masculinity, peer pressure and the unspoken rules that shape teenage behaviour. Poster Boys is a great read for fans of Randa Abdel-Fattah, Holden Sheppard and Will Kostakis' BOOKS+PUBLISHING

Author Information
Scott Woodard worked in train stations, call centres and bookshops around Melbourne, before landing his first commercial radio gig in outback South Australia. Across seven years, three states and six radio stations, he's raced pantomime horses, annoyed reality TV stars, tossed thongs with politicians, copped abuse from puppets, MC'd music festivals, broadcast through fires and floods, championed communities around Australia, and played a lot of Ed Sheeran. Scott holds a Bachelor of Creative Writing from RMIT under the tutelage of Toni Jordan. His debut chapbook You Haven't Found Anything was published in 2015, and is still available in all good landfills. He's an ardent advocate for youth mental health, and his comedic fiction emphasises the importance of empathy, self-acceptance and independent thinking for an Australian teenage audience. Scott lives with his family on Ngunnawal Country in Canberra, ACT. When he's not writing or working in the public service (classic Canberra), he loves bushwalking and playing banjo.
