Melina Marchetta's "Children's Book Council of Australia, Book of the Year Older Readers" was made into a pretty good Australian film and has been a well read Higher School Certificate English text. The 1992 release tracks Josephine Alibrandi's adolesence as a way to explore mutli-cultural Australian society. Along the way it explores identity, aspirations, parental expectations and this 17 year olds feisty personality and hopes. Great book!! I hope someone finds it and reads it!! I plan on leaving it somewhere along Newcastle Harbour Foreshore, maybe at or near 'Source Cafe'!!
