The Blue Lawn

Part of the OneTree House Classic Tales Aotearoa e-book Collection: bringing Aotearoa classics to a new generation! 

David is fifteen and a small-town rugby player of blossoming ability. He is also the popular only son of loving parents. Theo is almost seventeen and an outsider. He is new to the town and grandson of a wealthy eccentric, Gretel Meyer – an old woman with a story of her own. This is a powerful novel of relationships and the tragedy of intolerance. It is also the story of a strong physical attraction between two young men. How do you deal with such feelings when you don’t know what you really want. Where, or to whom, do you turn for help? 

Winner of the NZCYP Award for Senior Fiction, 1995
