Feeling Sorry for Celia

Dear Ms Clarry,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join our Society.
We have just found out about your holiday. It is so impressive! You
had four assignments, an English essay and a chapter of Maths to do.
And you didn't do one single piece of homework!
Fabulous!
Also we have a feeling that you have a History test today.
And you're trying to study now? On the bus? With the Brookfield
boys climbing onto each other's shoulders to get to the emergency
roof exit? And with Celia about to get on the bus at any moment?
And you think that's going to make a difference!!!
That's really very amusing, Elizabeth. We like you for it.
You're perfect for our Society and we're very excited
about having you join.
Yours sincerely,
The Manager
Society of People who are Definitely Going to Fail High School
(and Most Probably Life as Well!

‘Elizabeth Clarry is exactly the sort of person I'd love for a best friend' MELINA MARCHETTA, AUTHOR OF
LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI

‘Hilarious . . . a must for any angst-ridden teenager'
DOLLY

‘Moriarty's writing is a hoot and her sense of irony perfectly placed in this hilarious addition to the genre of genuinely comic Australian young adult novels'

THE AUSTRALIAN

Markus Zusak
The Messenger

PROTECT THE DIAMONDS
SURVIVE THE CLUBS
DIG DEEP THROUGH THE SPADES
FEEL THE HEARTS

Meet Ed Kennedy—cab driving prodigy, pathetic card player and useless at sex. He lives in a suburban shack, shares coffee with his dog, the Doorman, and he's in nervous-love with Audrey. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence—until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.

That's when the first ace turns up.

That's when Ed becomes the messenger.

Chosen to care, he makes his way through town, helping and hurting (where necessary) until only one question remains. Who's behind Ed's mission?

The Messenger
, by the highly acclaimed author Markus Zusak, is a cryptic journey filled with laughter, fists and love.

Scot Gardner
The Other Madonna

Madonna O'Dwyer is not the mother of the Messiah and she's not a sex-powered pop diva. She's a hardworking girl with a drama queen for a sister and a dad who sounds Irish when he's drunk.

The mother who blessed (or cursed) her with her name died when she was young, leaving a hole in Madonna that, at seventeen, has become as raw as a decayed tooth.

Madonna's friends think she can heal with her hands, but Madonna has her doubts. Her hands make pizzas and wash dishes. Her hands caress the boy and smash down the door. Her hands strangle demons from her past and pray for a spirited future.

The hands of Madonna.

The other Madonna.

A humorous new novel about piercing, pizzas and the healing power of love from the highly-acclaimed author of
One Dead Seagull
,
White Ute Dreaming
and
Burning Eddy
.

Charlotte Calder
Cupid Painted Blind

The course of true love never did run smoothly.

If people have been stuffing up love since Shakespeare's time, what hope does Seph—or sefi_15 when she's online—have with Tom? Look at her parents: they barely speak to each other since Nick moved out, and could her mum really have a ‘thing' for their balding (not to mention married) neighbour? Even Seph's best friend Pia—boy magnet—is having problems. The forces of love, like the unbearably hot summer, seem to be beyond anyone's control . . .

And now a mysterious grEMLin has invaded Seph's chat room and is about to make her life a whole lot more difficult . . .

Praise for Charlotte Calder's first novel,
Settling Storms
:

‘A beautifully assured, engaging first novel . . . delightful and absorbing'
AGNES NIEUWENHUIZEN

‘Well written, with an entertaining plot and a mystery . . . describes the heat, the humidity and the storms of tropical Australia in the wet season with authenticity and feeling'
VIEWPOINT

‘sure to be a winner'
