THIS ONE IS OURS

Kate O'Donnell

Sofie is a dreamy young artist with her head in the clouds, but when she travels to Paris on exchange, she's awakened to the power of art in inspiring change in the world. Can she reconcile what art means for her?
When she goes on exchange, she is expecting magnificent adventures of the heart and mind. Yet France isn't what she imagined. Sofie's more homesick than lovesick.

But then her host sister, Delphine, and fellow artist Olivier show her a different side of Paris, and Sofie starts to question her ideas of art, beauty and meaning. Of everything.There's truth in what her best friend, Crow, has been saying all along: the world is in crisis and people need to take notice.And when a catastrophe strikes close to home, Sofie realises she needs to act.

Kate O'Donnell is a writer, editor and bookseller specialising in children's and young adult literature. She has a BA in History and French from the University of Melbourne and studied Professional Writing and Editing at RMIT. Her first YA Novel, Untidy Towns, sold to great acclaim.
