MAKING FRIENDS WITH ALICE DYSON

Poppy Nwosu

Shortlisted for the 2018 Adelaide Festival Unpublished Manuscript Award.

Alice Dyson knows exactly how she'll be spending her final year of high school. With her head down, concentrating on her textbooks and homework. She's focused on the future, and nothing and no one is going to get in her way.

Until a bizarre encounter with the school's most notorious troublemaker derails all her plans, turning Alice into the unwilling centre of attention and her life into one enormous complication. And even worse? Now Teddy Taualai won't leave her alone.

A romantic story about rumours, friendship, and discovering who you really are.

An exuberant young adult novel that is light in its handling of social difference and the highs and lows of adolescent life. It's a refreshing read. The drama is everyday and utterly recognisable. - Judges comments, Adelaide Festival Awards
