Sometimes the most important lessons are learnt at lunchtime
Parks State High is a melting pot of misfits. There is Oliver Fish, the teen philosopher hiding a secret relationship; Dev Patel, hopelessly in love with the brilliant Maryam Fadel; and a staffroom thick with gossip, camaraderie and burnt out teachers. At the centre of it all is well-loved teacher, Paul Bush. But when a disgruntled student makes a devastating move – one lunchtime is all it takes for Bushie's life to change forever.
With a cast of unforgettable characters, In a Common Hour is a smart, funny and wise novel that shows us all the ways we are connected.
'a hope-filled masterpiece about contemporary high school classrooms and the people that inhabit them.' GABBIE STROUD, author of Teacher and The Things that Matter Most
'I read this in a gulp. In a Common Hour marks the arrival of a major new talent. Sita Walker makes me fall in love with reading all over again.' NIKKI GEMMELL, author of Wing
'Walker's novel is unputdownable. I was charmed, moved, and so sorry to close the covers.' SHARLENE ALLSOPP, author of The Great Undoing
