Looking for Alibrandi (2000)

Josie Alibrandi has a lot to deal with right now. Shes 17, got the dreaded H.S.C. in front of her, and the boy of her dreams seems completely out of reach. Then theres that other problem. Shes a wog. Sure, its where Josie comes from, but its not where she feels she belongs. In fact, Josie doesnt know where she belongs. With her Nonna in one ear talking about the old country and the stuck-up girls at her school telling her shes an outsider, its no wonder. This year, however, everything is going to change. Josie will let loose, face her fears, uncover secrets – even discover the true identity of her father. Its going to be a year when Josie finally finds out where she belongs.
