Book description
Charmwood High and Year 8 plans to turn the school play, 'Romeo and
Juliet' into a rock musical. Everything's moving along until someone
mentions Equal Opportunity. There aren't enough roles for girls in this
production. For the Narrator, Peter Nutt, Equal Opportunity means more
opportunities for teachers like Poxon and girls like Ravolini to get at
him. And then there's Millie Miletic from the Holy Family of the Little
Sisters by the Sea: she's in love! Margaret Clark is one of
Australia's most popular writers for young people. She has worked as a
teacher and university lecturer and at the Geelong Centre for Alcohol
and Drug Dependency. Her novels for older readers include THE BIG
CHOCOLATE BAR, FAT CHANCE, HOT OR WHAT, KISS AND MAKE UP, FAMOUS FOR
FIVE MINUTES and a trilogy about the Studley family: HOLD MY HAND OR
ELSE!, LIVING WITH LEANNE and PULLING THE MOVES. BACK ON TRACK: DIARY OF
A STREET KID, NO STANDING ZONE, CARE FACTOR ZERO, and BAD GIRL, four
searing novels for young adults, have become bestsellers. Most recently
her SECRET GIRLSÂ STUFF, MORE SECRET GIRLSÂ STUFF, and WHAT TO DO WHEN
LIFE SUCKS have been hits with her many fans. Her most recent titles
FRIENDS FOREVER: A SECRET DIARY BY SARA SWAN (November 2005), SECRET
FRIENDS' STUFF (2006) and TROUBLE ON TUESDAYS are current bestsellers.
