1 1 y separately published work icon A Letter From Luisa Rowena Mohr , Crows Nest : Allen and Unwin , 2009 Z1641741 2009 single work novel young adult Have you ever wanted someone so badly that you'd do anything to be with them? Luisa has and now she's in big trouble. She's been suspended from school for single-handedly turning the Motherwell High Twilight Fete into a war zone - complete with explosions, flying bodies, mutilated teddies and burning dogs. Luisa can't understand how she lost control. Normally home runs like clockwork, and school's all right if she ignores the bullies and the incredibly annoying Danny Baldassarro. Okay, she doesn't have time to write songs anymore but you have to make sacrifices, right? A blackly funny tale of life, love and learning to let go. (Publisher's blurb)

'Ever get the feeling your life would qualify for National Disaster Relief? Say hello to Erin Costello.

Erin's pretty much your average teenage girl ... except that her mother has all the maternal instincts of a black widow spider, and her dad is out of work and completely clueless. That's probably why they're divorced. Not that anyone except Erin seems to care. Certainly not Erin's sucky little brother Ben, who's too busy making money, or her best friend, Rami, who is turning into a fanatical environmental activist - with the emphasis on mental. And definitely not Creepazoid - Erin's mum's new boyfriend - who may or may not be a drug-dealing pervert disguised as a mild-mannered PE teacher! It's an eventful year for Erin Costello, but is her imagination running wild?' (Publisher's blurb)
