Jasper Jones Book by Craig Silvey

Is this the Great Australian Novel? In short, yes. Set in the simmering summer of 1965, mining town Corrigan feels like a powder keg - ready to release at any moment. Jasper Jones; outcast, rebellious, mixed-race, solitary, and Charlie Bucktin; precocious, bookish, frightened. Together they uncover a gripping secret deep in the bush. As the walls begin to press in upon them, and white lies build into darker ones, this heartfelt tale explores love, injustice, racism, inhumanity, and what it means to tell the truth.
