About The Author

Craig Silvey grew up on an orchard in Dwellingup Western Australia.

In 2007, Silvey released a picture book called The World According to Warren.Outside of literature, Silvey is the singer/songwriter for the band The Nancy Sikes.

Catcher in the Rye meets To Kill a Mockingbird in a novel that confronts racism, injustice, friendship and the tenderness of first love – as seen by bookish, guileless, 13-year-old Charlie Bucktin, led astray by the intriguing, dangerous eponymous outcast, Jasper Jones

Other text

Terrific…this is an enthralling novel that invites comparison with Mark Twain and isn't found wanting. Silvey is able to switch the mood from the tragic to the hilarious in an instant
