DANCING BAREFOOT
Winner of the 2021 Text Prize for Young Adult and Children's Writing
DANCING BAREFOOT is a feel-good romantic comedy about growing up queer.
Patch is out of place at Mountford College: she wears the wrong clothes, she's on a scholarship, and she has an embarrassingly persistent crush on Evie Vanhoutte, popular girl and golden child. Evie has no idea Patch exists until a chance encounter sparks a friendship that's equal parts exhilarating, terrifying, and very, very confusing.
As if that weren't enough to deal with, Patch is also trying to avoid a vindictive school bully, forgetting to be supportive of her transitioning best friend, Edwin, and worrying about a potential new stepmother turning out to be the evil Baroness from The Sound of Music.
DANCING BAREFOOT is a story about finding love, figuring out your place in the world, and learning to embrace the changes life throws in your path. We can't wait for you to read and fall in love with Patch, Evie and Edwin just as we have.
Alice Boyle is an English teacher and author living in Naarm/Melbourne. She's written for SBS Voices and the Stella Prize, and her short story The Exchange' was published in the anthology GROWING UP QUEER IN AUSTRALIA. In 2019 she was highly commended for the Wheeler Centre's Next Chapter program.
