I want to leave town

I want to leave town

I want to leave.

Jack and Annabel have decided to put off university and drive around the country. It all seems wildly romantic, but when their car dies two days into the trip, they end up at George¹s apple orchard, figuring it¹s just a temporary place to stay and earn some money.

And at first it is. They fill bins with tart, crunchy apples all day, and drink cold beers while snuggling in the hayloft at night. But then Jack recognizes something in George¹s family that his own family suffered from. So Jack and Annabel decide to stay for a while. They¹re not sure how to help, but the know they want to try¿

Synopsis:

From Australia's most popular poet for teens comes two linked novels of love, loss, and life on the road told in lyrical free verse. Sixteen-year-old Jack is obsessed with the beautiful Annabel, the ghost of his mother, and facial hair. Original.
