Adolescence is all about transformation, risk, passion – but what happens when young people are pushed to their limits? 

Author Holden Sheppard has been widely acclaimed for his YA novels, which explore these limits with nuance and compassion.  

In his new book, The Brink, a group of schoolies confront a life-changing tragedy on a trip they’ll never forget. In Sheppard’s award-winning debut novel (and its forthcoming television adaptation) Invisible Boys, three teenage boys come to terms with their homosexuality in a town where queerness is invisible. 

On this episode, hear Sheppard discuss the jagged edges of adolescence in conversation with C.S. Pacat.
