From the author of P is for Pearl comes a heart-warming book about family, friendship and what home can mean. Stella may only be seventeen, but having read every self-help book she can find means she knows a thing or two about helping people. She sure wasn't expecting to be the one in need of help, though. Thanks to her father's gambling addiction, Stella and her family now find themselves living at Fairyland Caravan Park. And hiding this truth from her friends is hard enough without dealing with another secret. Stella's birth mother has sent her a letter. As Stella deals with the chaos of her family, she must also confront the secrets and past of her 'other' family. But Stella is stronger than she realises. From the author of P is for Pearl comes a heart-warming book about family, friendship and what home can mean. PRAISE FOR HOW TO GROW A FAMILY TREE 'This engaging novel for young adults doesn't sugar-coat the difficult sides of life but it has substantial stretches of hope and beauty. It covers a lot of social ground, from such topics as adoption and financial trouble to the full awfulness of addiction [...] but the plot and characters are always paramount' -- The Age AWARDS FOR HOW TO GROW A FAMILY TREE Shortlisted - Queensland Literary Awards (Griffith University Young Adult Book Award)

'A poignant read bursting with heartache, grief and small-town family secrets that will draw you in until the final page' -- Gabrielle Tozer, award-winning author of The Intern, Faking It and Remind Me How This Ends Seventeen-year-old Gwendolyn P. Pearson has become very good at not thinking about the awful things that have happened to her family. She has also become used to people talking about her dead mum. Or not talking about her and just looking at Gwen sympathetically. And it's easy not to think about awful things when there are wild beaches to run along, best friends Loretta and Gordon to hang out with - and a stepbrother to take revenge on. But following a strange disturbance at the cafe where she works, Gwen is forced to confront what happened to her family all those years ago. And she slowly comes to realise that people aren't as they first appear and that like her, everyone has a story to tell. From the talented author of the celebrated novels In the Quiet and Ache comes a poignant and moving book that explores the stories we tell ourselves about our families, and what it means to belong. PRAISE 'P is for Pearl is a complex, authentic exploration of grief, friendship, mental illness, family and love, sensitively written by a writer whose voice will resonate with teen readers.' -- Books+Publishing
