Young Adult Novel TIMBER CREEK STATION is Released

Timber Creek Station, written by acclaimed British debut novelist Ali Lewis, is available March 2016 in the United States from Carolrhoda Lab, an imprint of Carolrhoda Books, a division of Lerner Publishing Group. Originally published as Everybody Jam in the UK and shortlisted for the prestigious Carnegie Medal, this gritty novel set in Australia is a thoughtful, page-turning masterpiece.

Danny Dawson lives on a cattle station in the Australian outback. Usually the annual cattle muster excites Danny, but everything is different now. Because Danny's beloved older brother died in an accident last year, and nobody will talk about it. Because his teenage sister is pregnant and won't tell anyone who the father is. Because his mother can't cope with any of it and has hired a wide-eyed English house girl to deal with the family.

Told in first-person narrative, Timber Creek Station is the story of a grieving family, entrenched racism, and the surprising ways one boy-who thought he'd be stuck in one terrible place forever-can take a leap forward.

Praise for Timber Creek Station by Ali Lewis:
"[A]n engrossing, edgy, fast-paced book and an extremely promising debut."
?Award-winning author Mal Peet writing for The Guardian
