All The Green Year - Text Classics (Large print, Paperback, Large type / large print edition)

It was the end of an era; a year of 'outlandish happenings'; a time when everything seemed to change for Charlie Reeve, a daydreaming lad growing up in a small town on the Mornington Peninsula. His teacher and dad are giving him a hard time, his neighbour Squid keeps getting him into trouble, and his best mate Johnno is busy seeing a girl - which leads Charlie to a nasty fight with Big Simmons. First published in 1965, and subsequently made into a popular ABC TV series, All the Green Year is the story of a boy's journey towards adulthood - 'not only the humour of it but its drama and pain', as the 96 - year - old Don Charlwood writes in his revised afterword. This Text Classics edition of one of Australia's most loved coming - of - age novels comes with a new introduction by Michael McGirr, author of the bestseller Things You Get for Free.
