Teeth marks by Rose Moxham

Published by Allen & Unwin, 2007, ISBN 9781741147711
Set in a small town in Australia, this story begins in the middle, with 19 year old Nick having an accident on a bike that results in him spending time in an orthopedic ward trussed up in traction. Through flashbacks we see how he came to be here, the people he met along the way, and the decisions he took that lead to his accident. It is the story of a road trip through which Nick comes of age, a story about love, friendship, hope and consequences. A great read for teenagers, and will especially appeal to boys.
