Grapefruit Moon Summary

Grapefruit Moon by Shirley-Anne McMillan

Wealthy, popular Charlotte and quiet, working class Drew couldn't be more different, but both face a common enemy at Cooke's Academy in the form of the Stewards - an elite group of students whose power to manipulate school culture is feared by pupils and teachers alike. Drew, a newcomer to Cooke's, must navigate the strict codes of masculinity laid down by the Stewards in order to have a hope of moving on to university, while Charlotte dreams of speaking freely about the constraints and abuses of the culture which is propelling her towards a life she's not sure she wants. Through drag art and poetry the unlikely pair follow a dangerous trajectory which will lead them closer to one another and further away from the paths laid out for them.

Grapefruit Moon Reviews

Emotional, gripping, and so, so real.

* Louise Finch, author of The Eternal Return of Clara Hart *

Shirley-Anne McMillan's writing is bold, brave and full of integrity. Grapefruit Moon is an up-to-the-minute, but also timeless coming-of-age story - heartfelt, gutsy and complex.

-- Sheena Wilkinson, author of Hope against Hope

Real. Gritty. Heart-wrenching. Thought-provoking.

* Sue Divin, author of Guard Your Heart and Truth Be Told *
