Summary
As soon as I finish school I’ll have the car packed. I’ll thunder past the dull cardboard boxes that Banarang calls shops, I’ll skim over the Bridge Street potholes without feeling a bump and I’ll fly up the freeway, bound for the city and civilisation.

Critics Review
‘Bonesland kept me up until the wee hours. It was a helluva ride…I was in love with Bones from his first breath.’ – Scot Gardner‘It’s rare we see teenage boys depicted in all their raw glory as we do in Bonesland. Lawley captures all that’s repugnant about modern masculinity, but reassures us that young Aussie men are not irredeemable…I can see why this book was shortlisted for the Text Prize. It should certainly spark some interesting conversations.’ – Paula Weston‘This amusing, poignant coming-of-age story deftly addresses some of the issues facing today’s teens, from mental health to social media, and puts a fresh spin on a familiar message about the value of being yourself.’ * Books+Publishing *‘This debut is bursting with quirky humour and incredible heart. You’re right there beside Bones as he rides wave after wave of emotion…There’s so much to love about this teen and the young author who created him.’ * Herald Sun *
