Short Cuts

by Marieke Hardy

A group of students choose to take Media Studies in Year 9. Some are genuinely interested, others see it as a soft option. But they all come to realise that the video camera can be both a tool of expression and communication, and an instrument of manipulation, secrecy and lies. This book is suitable for ages 12+.

About the author

Marieke Josephine Hardy is a screenwriter, author, blogger, radio presenter, and part-time mud wrestler. She is a little bit taller than Uncanny X-Men lead singer Brian Mannix, though doesn’t fill out a pair of leather trousers nearly as neatly.

She makes host Jennifer Byrne’s life an abject misery once a month on the ABC’s The Book Club. A collection of her essays, You’ll Be Sorry When I’m Dead, was released in August.

[Gen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Used to love this show. Pretty much each chapter of this book corresponds with an episode of the show. It's pretty funny. Would recommend for teenagers of all genders.
