looking for alibrandi

LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI Looking for Alibrandi is written by Melina Marchetta and was nominated as book of the year for older children. The book is well suited to teenage readers because it contains a theme that all teens can relate to – search for identity. The novel Looking for Alibrandi is as the title suggests about Josie Alibrandi’s search for her identity. Looking for Alibrandi is the story of Josie’s experiences at school, and …

…with the freedom of Australia today. In the end, Josie realises life doesn’t always go the way we would like but you always have to live with the consequences. I really enjoyed the novel, because I could relate to it, and because I learned from it. I learned that everyone has problems, some worse than others, but what matters is how you deal with them. I would recommend Looking for Alibrandi to all teenagers.
