"Josie Alibrandi thinks she’s cursed. She loves her strict nonna and mum, but finds Italian customs embarrassing, and struggles to dodge nonna’s local ‘spy ring’ of busybodies. As a scholarship girl at prestigious St Martha’s, she also worries her working-class migrant heritage and illegitimate birth make her a target for posh bullies. Heading into Year 12, Josie’s already crushing on her debating buddy, the privileged son of a political dynasty, when she meets spunky state-school rebel Jacob, who drives … eww, a panel van? This year, Josie will study, party, fight, grieve, meet her long-lost biological dad, uncover buried secrets – and maybe find who she is." — MIFF
