The community is paralysed by fear and a state's police force and national media come to find a killer. Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Paul Kennedy is searching for something else entirely. He is focused on finishing school, getting drafted into the AFL and falling in love. So much can change in a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rites of passage for many Australian teenage boys - blackout drinking, simmering violence and emotional suppression - take their toll, and the year that starts with so much promise ends with Kennedy expelled, arrested and undrafted. But one teacher sees Kennedy self-destructing, and becomes determined to set him on another path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTold with poignancy, humour and evoking the brilliant, dusty haze of late Australian summer, Funkytown is a love letter to adolescence, football, family, and outer suburbia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Kennedy","offers":[{"title":"Fair","offer_id":43173665898739,"sku":"8880002709208","price":14.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781922419828.jpg?v=1662059301","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/funkytown-paul-kennedy-9781922419828","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
