What can go wrong when everyone’s a winner? A lot more than you might imagine. Things can be tough on the battlefield, hard on the sports field, difficult at school, and downright dangerous at home. And that’s before the genie gets out, or, worse still, granny hits the mall! However, all is not lost. Open the pages of this year’s Write Off Line and let New Zealand secondary school students take you on an adventure filled with drama, tragedy, tension, and humour. Through thick and thin, these students truly prove that ’Everyone’s a Winner’.
