Set across two schools in Sydney — the private Ashbury High and the public Brookfield — this series captures the texture of teenage life through a format that feels genuinely fresh. Rather than traditional narration, Moriarty tells each story through the correspondence of her characters: school assignments, letters between pen pals, emails, and diary entries. The result reads as funny and chaotic and honest in a way that conventional third-person narration rarely manages.
The series spans seven books published between 2000 and 2009, with some titles released under different names in different markets. The central locations and a handful of recurring characters tie the books together, but each one focuses on a new group of students and a new central situation. Bindy Mackenzie in particular gets two full books, making her one of the more developed characters in the series.
