48 Shades of Brown
Summary
"Mother, your boy is a loser. It's possible that the object of most urgent desire thinks I'm a bird-nerd. And I suspect I might be competing for her affections with a dog she recently pashed...." A few months ago, Dan had to make a choice. Go to Geneva with his parents for a year, board at school, or move into a house with his 22-year-old bass-playing aunt, Jacq, and her friend, Naomi. He picked Jacq's place. Now he's doing his last year at school and trying not to spin out, trying to master calculus, and trying to pick up a few skills for surviving in the adult world. Problem is, he falls for Naomi, and things become much more confusing. Pointed, sharp and very, very funny, 48 Shades of Brown tells the truth bout being not quite seventeen - a time when everyone offers you advice, and nobody takes you seriously.

The True Story of Butterfish
Summary
When Annaliese Winter walks down Curtis Holland's front path, he's ill-prepared for a 16-year-old schoolgirl who's a confounding mixture of adult and child. After years travelling the world with his band, Butterfish, he's not used to having a neighbour at all. So when Curtis receives an invitation to dinner from Annaliese's mother, Kate, he is surprised when he not only accepts but finds himself being drawn to this remarkably unremarkable family.
He's drawn even to 15-year-old Mark, who is at war with his own surging adolescence. Curtis soon realises that with Kate divorced, Annaliese and Mark need a male role model in their lives, but it's hard for him to help when he's just starting to grow up himself - and harder still when Annaliese begins to show an interest in him that is less than filial. Filled with acute observation, humour, and tenderness, Butterfish is Nick Earls at his very best.

Analogue Men
Summary
Do you ever feel like you might have just one more chance to get on top of your life and make things happen? Andrew Van Fleet and Bamberg Davis Kirchner have parted company. Private equity has let him go without a fuss, and he's opting for a job that will let him spend more time at home. But the house is overrun by iPads and teenage hormones and conversations that have moved on without him. Plus his ailing father is now lodged in the granny flat, convalescing from surgery with his scrappy bulldog in tow. And then there's Brian Brightman, the expensive fading star at the radio station Andrew's signed up to manage, still gotcha-calling and dropping single entendres as if it's the '80s. He, too, is starting to wonder if the 21st century might prove to be his second best. He's Andrew's worst nightmare, but they're thrown together on a road trip to face their shared fear of obsolescence, with hilarious consequences.
