Puberty Blues - Softcover

Kathy Lette's first novel, written with her surfie chick friend Gabrielle Carey, when they were eighteen. PUBERTY BLUES is about 'top chicks' and 'surfie spunks' and the kids who don't quite make the cut: it recreates with fascinating honesty a world where only the gang and the surf count. It's a hilarious and horrifying account of the way many teenagers live . . . and some of them die. Kathy Lette and Gabrielle Carey's insightful novel is as painfully true today as it ever was.

Born and bred in Sylvania Waters, Kathy Lette is regarded as a national treasure in her native Australia. She is the author of Girls Night Out , Llama Parlour, Foetal Attraction, Mad Cows, Altar Ego and Nip an' Tuck. Mad Cows was made into a film, starring Anna Friel, Joanna Lumley and Greg Wise which came out in Autumn 1999.
