Críticas:
"In short, if I could, I would throw free copies of this book from the rooftops just to get them into the hands of every young adult reader in the world." - Hazel and Wren
" Although billed as a novel for young adults, Clancy of the Undertow is a delightful read for any age. The dialogue is sharp and fresh, with the central players all recognisable personalities, perhaps even displaying traits we can recognise in ourselves or others." - GlamAdelaide
"This book is wonderfully written with beautiful characterisation and I fell in love with it." - Reading Lark
"Funny, gritty, absorbing, and occasionally depressing, this is an intriguing if occasionally melodramatic glimpse of a young Australian woman's coming-of-age." --Kirkus Review
"Currie does very well at getting inside a teenaged girl's head, presenting an authentic voice for Clancy. As he says in the acknowledgments at the end, 'if it helps just one person understand that being young is being confused, and that things do get better, and that none of us really know what we're doing, then this whole process will have been worth it.' This is what good young adult fiction can do, and this one is just that. " - The Big Book Club
"This Australian import has already made waves overseas and is now coming to captivate the States - Christopher Currie's writing has already been compared to John Green, if that's any indication. It feels realistic, opting for an honest portrayal rather than the glossed-over version of teenage life, friendship, family, and love." --Bustle
"As soon as I picked it up, I asked myself why I'd ever waited this long to read such a realistic and moving book which will become one of the most-loved Aussie YA books of our generation... Clancy of the Undertow is brilliant in many ways, but the way Christopher Currie has captured genuine family dynamics as well as the voice of a teen who's struggling to find her place in a small, judgemental Australian town is what makes this novel a must-read." --Written Word Worlds

"A compelling coming-of-age story set in a dead-end Queensland town that's imbued with warmth, empathy and real wit. . . . Clancy of the Undertow blends the excruciation, confusion, and hope of being a teenager into a novel that will pull in readers of any age."?Guardian
Realistic contemporary teen fiction about the value of friendship, family, and being yourself.
Clancy is a bit of an outsider, and her family have stopped bothering to really communicate with each other. But when her dad is involved in a car accident that kills two local teens the town turns against her family. Clancy's family has to work out how to understand the events, deal with the anger of the community and tackle their own challenges.
Funny and wry, Clancy perfectly conveys the confusion and hope of being a teenager. An insightful novel about growing up and figuring out who you are, this will appeal to fans of John Green.
Christopher Currie is a writer and bookseller, whose fiction has appeared in anthologies and journals internationally. His first novel, The Ottoman Motel, was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Book Prize and the Queensland Literary Awards in 2012. Clancy is his first YA novel.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In a town like Barwen you only have to be a bit different to feel like a freak. Clancy, a typical 16-year-old gay misfit with a moderately dysfunctional family, a genuine interest in Nature Club and a major crush on the local hot girl, is packing a capital F. As the summer begins, Clancy's dad is involved in a road smash that kills two local teenagers. While the family is dealing with the town's reaction, Clancy meets someone who could possibly - at last - become a friend. Not only that, the unattainable Sasha starts to show what may be a romantic interest. Clancy Underhill is smart, funny and gay. She's on a collision course with small town life and its limitations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781925240405
