Alex As Well

Author(s): Alyssa Brugman

Young Adult Fiction

Alex wants change. Massive change. More radical than you could imagine. Her mother is not happy, in fact she's imploding. Her dad walked out. Alex has turned vegetarian, ditched one school, enrolled in another, thrown out her clothes. And created a new identity. An identity that changes her world. And Alex - the other Alex - has a lot to say about it. Alyssa Brugman's new novel is a confronting and heartfelt story of adolescent experience - of questioning identity, discovering sexuality, navigating friendships and finding a place to belong. Alex is a strong, vulnerable, confident, shy and determined character, one you will never forget.
