I look cool
in these glasses
in the mirror
I am tinted
smooth
slick
my old glasses
made me look like
a bogong moth
big black orbs
instead of eyes
lizard cool
beetle cool
cool insect
that’s me.
In case you're wondering, this is a verse novel for 9-12 year olds (or anyone who likes poetry). The main character, Dawn, is in Grade 6 - while it seems like all the other girls want to be style queens, Dawn wants life to stay the same and be fun. But at home, her parents never stop fighting and soon the inevitable happens. How will Dawn cope?
Yes - available at all good bookshops in Australia! Overseas? You'll have to email me for how to buy it.
