Thank you UQP for sending me this book! I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's written in verse beautifully and it captures teenagers, family, friends and class struggles so realistically, but I don't really think it was that memorable for me. I wish it packed more of a punch.

I have always loved Herrick's verse novels, and this one is no different. It explores a lovely friendship between two teenage boys, each with his own issues he needs to sort. Lucky they can depend on each other.
The ongoing drama with the town's redevelopment and move towards generic, homogeneous charmless living, re-purposed for rich city dwellers, who only visit intermittently rang true, and struck a chord with me.
A lovely romance, a fractured family and two typical Aussie boys, in the best possible way. It's very nice.

Another Night in Mullet Town by Steven Herrick is a verse novel for teens set in a small coastal town with lots of fishing references.
How's that for a hard sell?
The trouble is, I adore Herrick's writing and his ability to draw complex, authentic characters with so few words.
He could probably write a story about boxing or a spider plague and I would still love it, although I hope he doesn't test me out on that score!
Of course, Another Night is Mullet Town is not just about fishing.
Herrick explores his usually themes of belonging, friendship, family and community. He also touches on trust and everyday courage.
