Description

'Often funny, sometimes shocking, always real' - Vikki Wakefield, author of Inbetween Days Justin's back, and wants to put the past behind him. Corey's a footy hero and high-school dropout who can't even find work picking fruit. Tara wants to be loved. But if her mother doesn't care, why would anyone else Margo wants out, and she has a plan to get there. Plans change. Life happens. Some secrets won't stay buried. Peace isn't as simple as laying bones to rest. 'The Centre of My Everything drives a stake through the heart of teen binge-drinking culture and generational racism. Often funny, sometimes shocking, always real - this is not an easy book, and that's exactly why everyone should read it.' Vikki Wakefield, author of CBCA Honour Book INBETWEEN DAYS
