Publisher's Summary

This is Kathy Lette's first novel, written with her surfie chick friend Gabrielle Carey, when they were 18.

Written 20 years ago, Puberty Blues is the best-selling 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.

With forewords by Kylie Minogue and Germaine Greer.
