Caitlin and David have much in common. They're the same age, they go to the same school, they're both in the school play. And each of them is watching their family fall apart.
Author Biography
Bill Condon's young adult novels, DOGS (2001) and NO WORRIES (2005) were Honour Books in the Children's Book Council Book of the Year Awards. NO WORRIES was also short listed for the Ethel Turner Prize in the 2005 NSW Premier's Literary Awards. DAREDEVILS made the long-list in the inaugural Inky Awards, Australia's first teenage choice awards. GIVE ME TRUTH is Bill's most recent young adult novel for Woolshed Press. Before devoting himself to novels, Bill had a long and successful career as a writer of short stories, plays and poetry for young people. His work encompasses many genres and he has close to one hundred titles to his credit. He lives on the south coast of New South Wales with his wife, the well known children's author Di (Dianne) Bates.
Reviews"Bill Condon has built a strong reputation as a prolific writer of YA novels whose work bravely faces uneasy truths. . . . Highly recommended for mid-teens." --Bookseller and Publisher "Condon is an excellent storyteller. In Give Me Truth each character feels so real the emotions throb from the page straight to the reader's heart. . . . Condon's ability to balance the highs and lows, while using dialogue, descriptions and images that are concise and believable, makes his story memorable." --Sydney Morning Herald
