Hi,
any chance of a copy of those notes for Tom Brennan. In exchange, download the song video clip for 'A Simple Plan' from YouTube. It goes really well with it as a related text.

Fluffhead:haha:

[FONT=&quot]JC Burke’s famous novel “The Story of Tom Brennan” weaves the past into the present.[FONT=&quot] This book for 13+ teens is so real it hurts. Week after week the news screams of stories about road trauma and the very many hapless, often speeding and drunk young male drivers. The Story of Tom Brennan is about the fall-out victims of such car accidents. It is compelling anyone to read.The main achievements of this novel are:[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2006 Winner, CBCA Book of the Year, older readers.
[FONT=&quot]2006 Winner, Family Therapist Literary Award[/FONT]

I can't find anything for Tom Brennan apart from book reviews.
Hope this is useful to you, I emailed JC Burke for her opinions of the book.

Remember the story is about Tom navigating his way into the new world after the accident. It's not simply about the 'secret' getting out, moving to Coghill or the accident - those factors make up the whole story of Tom finding out who this new Tom is after the accident. Look at the text where Tom refers to himself in the 3rd person like the prologue, p 76 (which is when Tom realises his world and the way he knew it just ended), p 261 and the last sentence of the book.

She had no underlying message she just writes it from the characters who is telling it. Authors also don't think about themes.
