Forty-Eight Shades of Brown

by NickEarls (Author)

Synopsis

An award-winning young adult novel that explores themes of identity, adolescent alienation and the rites of passage. Australian teenager Dan Bancroft had a choice to make: go to Geneva with his parents for a year, or move into a house with his bass-playing aunt Jacq and her friend Naomi. He chooses Jacq's place, and his life will never be the same. This action-packed and laugh-out-loud-funny novel navigates Dan's chaotic world of calculus, roommates, birds and love.; Forty-eight Shades of Brown won the prestigious Children's Book of the Year: Older Readers Award from the Children's Book Council of Australia.
