Maria Boyd

Maria Boyd has spent the better part of the past seven years working as a teacher in two Sydney boys’ high schools, a job that ensured her, among other things, at least four belly laughs a day. Before that she was completing her Masters in Cultural Studies, and before that, she was travelling the world from her base in London.

She has explored many different types of opportunities in her working life but nearly all of them have had something to do with young people and teaching. There is no coincidence in this – she enjoys and believes in them both. Maria lives in Sydney. Will is her first novel.

Will

WILL ARMSTRONG IS A boy with a lot of cheek…maybe a bit too much, when he moons all the girls as they pass by in the school bus! Sadly, the girls aren’t the only witnesses to his revealing act and he finds himself facing the most feared punishment there is—taking part in the school musical!

With many years experience teaching teenage boys, Maria Boyd captures her subject brilliantly. All the trials, insecurities and stupid mistakes are so spot on, that there must be a few blushing cheeks at her old school.

Recommended for age 12+
