48 Shades of Brown

48 Shades of Brown
48 Shades of Brown

Coming-of-age chaos with heart and humor.

If you're on the cusp of adulthood yourself, "48 Shades of Brown" could resonate deeply with you. Nick Earls captures the messiness of this transformative period with a mix of wit and authenticity that makes the story relatable. It's not just a tale about growing up, it's a recognition of the confusing, sometimes hilarious path to figuring out life.

Description

Australian teenager Dan Bancroft had a choice to go to Geneva with his parents for a year, or move into a house with his bass-playing aunt Jacq and her friend Naomi. He chose Jacq's place, and his life will never be the same. This action-packed and laugh-out-loud-funny novel navigates Dan's chaotic world of calculus, roommates, birds, and love.
