A manifesto on all aspects of growing up - from parenting and education to the role of literature and imagination - by one of Australia's most passionate and experienced educators and bestselling authors.
Multi award-winning and bestselling author John Marsden has sold
millions of books worldwide, and won every major award in Australia
for young people's fiction.
He has written more than 40 books, including So Much to Tell You
and Letters from the Inside, which span a range of genres and
audiences.
John's legendary 'The Tomorrow Series', called 'the best series for
Australian teens of all time', has sold into multiple territories
and was adapted into a highly successful movie and a major TV
series.
His historical novel for adults, South of Darkness, won the
Christina Stead Award for Best Novel of 2015.
John's enduring passion for education has led him to found two
schools: Candlebark, on a vast forested estate near Romsey,
Victoria; and Alice Miller, at Macedon, a Year 7-12 school with a
particular emphasis on the creative arts.
His two adult, non-fiction titles, The Art of Growing Up and Take
Risks, explore his fascinating life and his absorbing, profound
insights into teaching, parenting and society today.
