'Puberty Blues is a profoundly moral story.'
Germaine Greer

A groundbreaking, classic Australian novel and the inspiration behind the popular TV series of the same name.

Written in 1979, Puberty Blues is the bestselling account of growing up in the 1970s that took Australia by storm and spawned an eponymous cult movie. Puberty Blues is about 'top chicks' and 'surfie spunks' and the kids who don't quite make the cut: it recreates with fascinating honesty a world where only the gang and the surf count. It's a hilarious and horrifying account of the way many teenagers live and some of them die.

'I don't recall reading Puberty Blues so much as devouring it. I was fascinated. The honesty of the story made it hysterical and terrifying at the same time.'
Kylie Minogue
