Summary:
In this vibrant portrayal of Australian adolescence, Greta Driscoll's bubble of obscure loserdom is burst when her parents throw her a surprise fifteenth birthday party and invite the whole school. Perfectly content being a wallflower, suddenly Greta's flung far from her comfort zone into a distant, parallel place, a strange world that's a little frightening and a lot weird, but only there can she find herself.
