She watches; she dreams. She sees more than they realise. She has worries and fears, hopes and desires. She is troubled; she is angry. Above all, she is lonely. She may be someone you know. She may be you. In So Much to Tell You she tells her story. With humour and insight, with sensitivity and strength, with painful honesty. You will never forget her.

About the Author: John Marsden was born in Melbourne in 1950. In 1985 he found himself teaching English in the Australian bush, at Timbertop School. Noticing a complete lack of interest in reading among his Year 9 students he tried his hand at writing a short novel that he thought they might enjoy. The rest, as they say, is history. He has sold over two million books world-wide and has won every major writing award in Australia for young people’s fiction, as well as numerous awards both in the USA and Europe, including the Buxtehude Bulle Award in Germany, which is one of the world’s most coveted prizes for young people’s books. He has also been awarded the Christopher Medal (USA) and the National Children's Book Award (Australia). He currently writes and teaches in Victoria, Australia.

About the Performer: Kate has extensive vocal training and has worked in a variety of industries including the performance, hospitality and education sectors. She has appeared in numerous children's pantomimes and plays, and has also been involved in community radio.
