Flip is a contemporary Australian young adult drama that explores big issues with soul and sensitivity. Its high-low content and feel good finale make it a perfect read for both lovers of the genre and non-confident readers.

Issues and themes flowing through Flip are timely and relevant, including the current housing crisis, bullying, loss and grief, finding yourself and a sense of belonging, friendship and family dynamics, starting over in a new town and school, and the impacts of cancer and dementia.

Denim Davies wishes he could flip his life, just like the vintage items and clothing he finds at garage sales and thrift stores and sells online. With the worsening housing crisis, Denim and his dad have spent a year moving from town to town in search of sustainable work and a home they can call their own. Every move means starting over in a new school. Denim feels he's drifting through life without an anchor.

When Denim and his dad arrive in the coastal town of Driftwood Heights, Denim knows things are only going to get worse. The only accommodation is in the caravan park, he's just started Year 10, and in this small town where everyone knows each other, he feels more of a misfit than ever. Besides, what's the point of getting close to anyone if you're just going to move away again?

When Denim befriends Mina, a quirky girl with a carefree attitude, Driftwood Heights starts to look a little brighter. But then a vintage find that seems too good to be true goes horribly wrong, and he has a tough decision to make

one that could ruin his friendship forever. What do you do when flipping your life has too high a price?

Reviews for Flip

“Overall, this work challenges stereotypical assumptions and promotes hopefulness and empathy. The appealing, open-minded protagonist radiates resilience in a complicated teenage world. A thoughtful, optimistic, and highly engaging novel with a strong sense of place and robust characterization.” - Kirkus Reviews
