Mother, your boy is a loser. It's possible that the object of most urgent desire thinks I'm a bird-nerd. And I suspect I might be competing for her affections with a dog she recently pashed...

A few months ago Dan had to make a choice. Go to Geneva with his parents for a year, board at school or move into a house with his 22-year-old bass-playing aunt, Jacq, and her friend, Naomi. He picked Jacq's place. Now he's doing his last year at school and trying not to spin out. Trying to master calculus. Trying to pick up a few skills for surviving in the adult world. Problem is, he falls for Naomi, and things become much more confusing. Pointed, sharp and very, very funny, 48 Shades of Brown tells the truth about being not quite seventeen - a time when everyone offers you advice, and nobody takes you seriously.

Nick Earls is the author of twelve books, including a number of bestsellers published internationally in English and in translation. His earlier title 48 Shades of Brown, which won a CBC Book of the Year โ€“ Older Readers award, was recently adapted and released as a feature-film. He has an honours degree in Medicine from the University of Queensland, and has lived in Brisbane since migrating as an eight-year-old from Northern Ireland in 1972.

Francis Greenslade began performing with Adelaide University Footlights and has since worked extensively in theatre and television. Theatre companies he has worked for include Melbourne Theatre Company, Sydney Theatre Company, State Theatre Company and Playbox. Francis is best known for his television appearances in The Micallef Programme, Full Frontal and Pig's Breakfast.

Reviews

"A terrific read. It's amusing, skilfully written and behind all the brashness of the young male world is a sensitivity and a grappling with the complexities of life." "A brilliantly funny guided tour of adolescent angst." "I thoroughly enjoyed this book." "Teen boys โ€“ and girls โ€“ will find much that they can relate to in this coming-of-age story." "At its best, this writer's voice evokes the brilliance of Martin Amis." "Older teens will relish Dan's wry, self-deprecating honesty about attraction, sex (mostly overheard), beer, calculus, and his uproariously funny, earnest search for the kind of guy he wants to be."
