“Melina Marchetta's stunning
debut novel Looking for Alibrandi is one girl's story of her
final year at school, a year she sets herself free. Josephine Alibrandi is
seventeen and in her final year at a wealthy girls' school. This is the year
she meets her father, the year she falls in love, the year she searches for
Alibrandi and finds the real truth about her family – and the
identity she has been searching for”.

A moving
and revealing book, unusual for its honesty and its insight into the life of a
young person on the brink of adulthood. Multi-award-winning, a bestseller
and made into an award-winning feature film, Looking for
Alibrandi has become a modern classic.
The novel ‘Looking for Alibrandi’
is widely used in High-schools across Australia as a part of the English
curriculum ‘study of Novel’ as it is relevant and explores a range of themes
with an interesting plot synopsis.
The novel was extremely successful
and became a film in 2004 as Josie was brought to life through the use of
lighting, music and sound techniques the viewer could engage with the
