Publisher's Summary

Winner of the 2009 Michael L. Printz Award for excellence in Young Adult literature.

A highly anticipated follow-up from the best-selling author of Looking for Alibrandi and Saving Francesca, both highly acclaimed productions available from Bolinda Audio.

Taylor Markham is now a senior at the Jellicoe School, and has been made leader of the boarders. She is responsible for keeping the upper hand in the territory wars with the townies, and the cadets who camp on the edge of the school's property over summer. She has to keep her students safe and the territories enforced and to deal with Jonah Griggs - the leader of the cadets and someone she'd rather forget. But what she needs to do, more than anything, is unravel the mystery of her past and find her mother - who abandoned her on the Jellicoe Road six years before. The only connection to her past, Hannah, the woman who found her, has now disappeared, too, and he only clue Taylor has about Hannah and her mother's past is a partially written manuscript about a group of five kids from the Jellicoe School, 20 years ago.

Macauley Brings this Great Tale to Life!

Despite it being an award-winning book, I don't feel like many know, let alone have read this great book from Melina Marchetta. And this is a shame! It's a great story about and for teens - with great characters that they will find easy to relate to, an engaging, twisting plot that is part drama, part mystery...and all of it taking place in Australia, making Macauley's voice perfect as narrator. This is well-worth the read/listen. All with whom I have shared it feel the same. #Audible1
