A novelisation inspired by the ABC TV show, The PM's Daughter. Catalina Parkes Pérez (Cat to her friends) is a young activist who is used to living a relatively normal teen life. But when political turmoil strikes and Cat’s mother is unexpectedly thrust into the role of Prime Minister, normal suddenly seems very far away. Now the entire world seems to be watching Cat. For someone who likes to live on her own terms, having every moment scheduled and every outfit pre-approved comes as quite the shock. Sure, residing at the Lodge has its perks – chefs, housekeepers and every entertainment option you could dream of – but how does one girl deal with the expectations of a whole country? As if all that weren’t enough, someone is out to get Cat’s mum, Isabel. Major disruptions are happening at all the Canberra landmarks – and they seem designed to directly sabotage the Prime Minister. Cat, along with her new friends, Sadie and Ollie, sets out to track down and unmask a rogue faction within a youth action group called ACTION UPRISING. The clues will take them across every inch of the capital and lead them to investigate even their own schoolmates. The PM's Daughter TV show was created by Tristram Baumber and Matthew Allred.

A fascinating insight into the political and private life of Australia's longest-serving prime minister. As Australia's longest-serving Prime Minister and the founder of the Liberal Party, Sir Robert Menzies is a towering figure in our political and cultural history. Letters to My Daughter is a collection of letters written by Menzies to his only daughter, Heather, throughout the fifties, sixties and seventies, when she was living overseas with her diplomat husband. They are full of warmth, love, humour and insights both political and personal and they allow us to see a completely different side of a man most Australians think of as a rather stern and forbidding authoritarian figure. The letters are so beautifully written they make you realise what a lost art letter writing is, and they are introduced by Heather herself, who explains the insider references and humorous asides. The collection also includes fascinating correspondence between Menzies and leaders of the day, including President John F. Kennedy and Gough Whitlam. Even the most rusted-on Labor voter will come away with a different view of Menzies and his legacy after reading this book.
