The Worst Day of His Life

About the Book

The Worst Day of His Life addresses the considerable influences of peer group pressure on young teenagers. It presents the two main characters with a series of dilemmas and decision points during a day of drama; should they do the "right thing" or follow the "pack."

Their series of compounding poor decisions gets them deeper and deeper into situations which spin out of control.

The final result of the day's fast paced activities is the boys' transition from childhood to maturity and their far greater insight into the danger of ignoring your internal personal code of conduct.

The manuscript is based on the true story of a Western Australian school boy and is set in a surf side suburb in 2003.
