Ravensbourne Launch

Somebody knows.

Somebody knows who gave Logan a pill that ended his life at Ravensbourne Music Festival. Somebody knows what it was like to be loved by Logan, and to write him letters they never thought would be found.

Maisie McDevitt is going to find that somebody, even if it means infiltrating the worst group of people she knows: the Year 12 drama students at Morningford College, the most elite private school in Australia.

'A gripping and evocative novel, Coomer captures the uncertainty and anguish of youth with impressive authenticity, exploring difficult and important subjects with sensitivity and focus. Ravensbourne is the work of a compelling voice in young adult literature.' - Robbie Coburn, author
