"Australia's king of young adult fiction" The Australian
Dreamed about you again. Like I do most nights.
Tony writes letters. To Miffy.
And breaks your heart.
Your life's a solo run, and even the crowd that's cheering you want you to fall over. They love when you win, but they love it even better when you lose.
Telling powerful stories has become the hallmark of John Marsden's writing. But even John Marsden has never written a book as powerful and gutsy as Dear Miffy.
[Contents may offend some readers] Multi award-winning and bestselling author John Marsden has sold millions of books worldwide, and won every major award in Australia for young people's fiction.
