The cult classic, with forewords by Kylie Minogue and Germaine Greer.
'By day, we were at school learning logarithms, but by night - in the back of cars, down behind the Ace-of-Spades Hotel and on Cronulla Beach - we paid off our friendship rings.'
First published in 1979, made into a film by Bruce Beresford in 1981, 'Puberty Blues' is now a cult classic. It's about young people - and the irrelevance of home, school and adults to their lives. The gang, the surf, and the beach make up their real world. The rules are tough, initiation essential and approval by the top chicks and spunks is all that counts.
Kathy Lette and Gabrielle Carey's account of adolescence is horrifying yet hilarious. It should chill the marrow of parents of today's thirteen-year-olds.
