48 Shades of Brown (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780868196527)

Dan is on a steep learning curve. It's not just that he's in his final year of school. When his parents go to Europe he moves in with his 22-year-old, bass-playing aunt Jacq and her friend Naomi. He should be concentrating on calculus and the fish-tank scene in Romeo + Juliet, but in a desperate bid to impress Naomi, Dan secretly starts memorising some more obscure information.

Adapted from Nick Earls' award-winning novel, this. is a gently comic tale of intimacy, ornithology and fresh pesto.

Includes teachers' notes.
