A coming-of-age novel by celebrated Australian author Ivan Southall, What About Tomorrow chronicles the journey of Sam, a fourteen-year-old boy who crashes his newspaper delivery bicycle in 1931 Melbourne and, gripped by fear and shame, runs away rather than face the consequences. Set against the bleak backdrop of the Great Depression, the narrative traces Sam's wandering through the Australian landscape as he encounters a cast of strangers whose lives are equally shaped by hardship and uncertainty. Southall writes with an intense, introspective tone, drawing readers deep into the psychological turmoil of adolescence as Sam grapples with questions of responsibility, identity, and what it means to grow up. The novel masterfully illustrates how a single impulsive decision can unravel into a profound journey of self-discovery, making it a resonant and emotionally powerful work of Australian young adult literature.
