Book description
Sam Studley's a bit older and wiser than when you met him in 'Hold My
Hand - Or Else!' but it's a pity he can't say the same for his fifteen
year old sister Leanne. No one seems to know where she is. Some kids are
saying she's got AIDS and some are saying she's been abducted. Some are
saying she's on the run to Kings Cross, some are saying she's a speed
freak and gone into a drug rehab centre, and some that she's hiding out
at home with chickenpox. But if living with Leanne sounds full on, you
should hear about living without her! 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.
Margaret is a Doctor of Education and travels broadly speaking about her
writing. Her books are published in 16 countries.
