Overview

"""Australia's king of young adult fiction"" The Australian ""A very funny, very Australian book"" West Australian Maybe deep down every kid knows his parents want him to be the Pride of the School, the Captain of Cricket and Tennis and Rowing and Darts and Knitting and anything else that's going down. They don't want to know about the fact that you've had more detentions than any other new student in the history of the school, that you're going out with the girl who doesn't wear a bra to PE, that the Head Swimming Coach is some kind of Nazi whose last job was training the shark in Jaws. Erle Gatenby has been sent to boarding school to straighten out, but there's about as much chance of that happening as there is of his giving up smoking. . . or drinking. . . or falling through the Art Room roof. Erle's a full tank of petrol. . . and wild, sexy Melanie Tozer is about to light the match. Fans of Veronica Roth, Suzanne Collins and John Flanagan will love John Marsden."

He has written more than 40 books, including So Much to Tell You and Letters from the Inside, which span a range of genres and audiences. John's legendary 'The Tomorrow Series', called 'the best series for Australian teens of all time', has sold into multiple territories and was adapted into a highly successful movie and a major TV series. His historical novel for adults, South of Darkness, won the Christina Stead Award for Best Novel of 2015.

His two adult, non-fiction titles, The Art of Growing Up and Take Risks, explore his fascinating life and his absorbing, profound insights into teaching, parenting and society today.
