About this audiobook

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.

About the author

Kathy Lette divides her time between being a full-time writer, demented mother and trying to find a shopping trolley that doesn't have a clubbed wheel. Kathy first achieved success as a teenager with the novel Puberty Blues, now a major motion picture. She lives in London with her husband and two children and has just finished a stint as Writer-in-Residence at London's Savoy Hotel.

Gabrielle Carey has been writing for as long as she can remember. Her first novel, Puberty Blues, co-written with Kathy Lette, was published when she was twenty. She has since written many other books, both fiction and non-fiction, as well as essays and newspaper articles.

Rebecca Macauley is a talented and award-winning narrator. She has appeared in a variety of television programs, including the internationally popular series Neighbours and the Australian drama Blue Heelers. Her work includes the US feature film Darkness Falls and the children's television series Wicked Science. Rebecca has previously narrated Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta and Ursula Dubosarsky's Abyssinia.
