An unlikely friendship across generations

Seventeen-year-old Morrison, marked by anger and a sharp tongue, clashes with Mr Moore, a retiring school principal whose plans have been upended by his wife’s Alzheimer’s. Their connection brings together two very different stages of life, with friendship set against questions of ageing, vulnerability and mutual support. The premise gives the novel a dual focus: a teenager’s difficult outlook and an older man’s changing family circumstances. Its listed setting category is Australia and Oceania, while the description also signals themes of hope, humility and acceptance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about friendship across generations
  • Readers interested in ageing and the effects of Alzheimer’s on family life
  • Readers seeking young adult fiction with Australian and Oceania setting classifications

What happens when two unlikely people find strength in each other?

This unique story is captivating and surprising, bringing tears and laugh-out-loud moments and brilliant insights into the nature of friendship and the problems of ageing at every age.
