Stagefright
Age 14+
General Fiction
Go on, break a leg.
Velvet S Pye used to have it all – private school, luxury holidays, loads of friends – but then her world fell apart, sending her crashing to grubby, sports-mad Yarrabank High. Could things get any worse? Sure they could. Velvet meets her cultural studies class. A musical version of a Shakespearian tragedy? They must be kidding.
Hailed as Summer Heights High meets Glee, Stagefright is internationally bestselling and award-winning Australian author Carole Wilkinson’s funniest novel. Reissued with brand-new content, this book is sure to have young adult fiction readers busting at the seams with its hilarious prose and endearing characters.

“A fun, tongue-in-cheek, light-hearted and irreverent look at what happens when a bunch of teenagers with nothing in common are forcibly thrown together. Recommended for ages 13 and up.” – Athina Clarke, Readings.com.au
