Rose by Any Other Name
From the best-selling author of Queen Kat, Carmel & St Jude Get a Life and Chain of Hearts (both available in audio from Bolinda).
Will appeal to fans of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
Rose wants to be alone but instead she's on a road trip of discovery with her mother. This is a warm, generous novel big on family dynamics and a rich portrait of a feisty young girl facing up to love, loss and life's big issues.
"No one explores that time of possibilities between school and university or work as honestly as Maureen McCarthy." - Sydney Morning Herald.
"...a fantastically paced and engaging novel, which deals with some really topical issues affecting most children today. Sure to appeal to the fans of Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, this is well written and a real feel-good novel that every older teenager girl will enjoy." - Bookseller & Publisher
