My Life as an Alphabet
This isn’t just about me. It’s also about the other people in my life – my mother, my father, my dead sister Sky, my penpal Denille, Rich Uncle Brian, Earth-Pig Fish and Douglas Benson From Another Dimension. These are people [with the exception of Earth-Pig Fish, who is a fish] who have shaped me, made me what I am. I cannot recount my life without recounting elements of theirs. This is a big task, but I am confident I am up to it.
Introducing Candice Phee: twelve years old, hilariously honest and a little … odd. But she has a big heart, the very best of intentions and an unwavering determination to ensure everyone is happy. So she sets about trying to ‘fix’ all the problems of all the people [and pets] in her life.
The Whole Business with Kiffo and the Pitbull
Part quirky journal, part detective fiction, this wild and witty novel is a laugh-out-loud comedy about two unlikely friends who are drawn into a dramatic series of events through their mutual mistrust of their new English teacher.
‘I don’t know you at all. I wouldn’t recognise you from a hole in the ground. If I was telling this story to some friends, then they would already know Kiffo and they would know me and they would know the school and everything. I’d just be able to get straight into what happened when a new English teacher, the Pitbull, slobbered and snarled her way into our class. But you don’t know anything.
It’s not all about you, Calma!
Calma Harrison is in love.
Not just with herself, but also with the handsome checkout guy at Crazi-Cheep.
But when Calma gets a job at Crazi-Cheep, her cynical approach to customer service makes headlines.
And then there’s the small matter of the rest of her life, which is fast falling apart: her absent father turns up unexpectedly and wants to talk’; her mother, The Fridge, is keeping secrets; and her new best friend, Vanessa, is hiding something horrible.
Fearing the worst for her family and friends, Calma knows the only sure way to shape events is direct, personal intervention…
Cassie
Holly hates her name, her looks and her life. She isn’t in with the right crowd and she has little hope of dating the gorgeous Raph McDonald. With Cassie staying, she has to move out of her bedroom into the tiny, smelly spare room, and she feels her life couldn’t be more unfair. So when Demi, the coolest girl in school, invites Holly on a make-over shopping spree, she jumps at the chance. Even Cass can see that Holly is stretching her wings. But will she fly or fall?
Before long Holly learns that appearances can be deceptive and friendship can blossom in unexpected places …
Ironbark
Sixteen can be a tough time. And it’s almost unmanageable for a wisecracking boy whose temper is white-hot. As a consequence he is sentenced to a time-out with his reclusive grandfather in a primitive shack in the Tasmanian forest. There is little to do except chop wood and watch the red-eyed wallabies gather at dusk.
They are an unlikely couple: a taciturn old man who prefers the simple life, and a volatile boy addicted to the technology of the 21st century – and yet a bond blossoms between them. But denied access to much he desires, and feeling provoked by a local cop cynical of city folk, the boy’s frustration grows. And when he encounters situations he can’t control anything could happen…
Dreamrider

Michael Terny is the fat boy. He’s at his seventh school in four years and he knows that even if he keeps his head down, he can’t change the script. He will be ridiculed and laughed at and pushed around.
But Michael has a powerful secret that allows him to escape to a safe place, and everything changes when he makes a new friend. Now he can make plans to exact his revenge. But will revenge have a price?
