Are We There Yet: Family Holidays from the Middle of the Back Seat

Before Google Maps, gluten-free snacks, or cars with decent air con, there was the great Australian road trip. In this hilariously heartfelt memoir-style novel, meet one unforgettable family crammed into a 1970s Kingswood and hurtling toward a beachside caravan park with too much luggage and not enough sanity.

Told from the perspective of the overlooked middle child - wedged between a moody teenage sister, a feral younger brother, and a dog with gastrointestinal issues - Are We There Yet captures the glorious chaos of a classic Aussie family holiday.

Join Mum (armed with leaky Tupperware and passive-aggression), Dad (armed with Slim Dusty tapes and flawed shortcuts), and a rotating cast of caravan park characters as they battle heatwaves, servo slushie meltdowns, crab-related injuries, and the worst casserole in recorded history.

Set in the sunburnt, zinc-smeared, fly-swatting world of 1980s Australia, this is the story of how holidays really were - long, loud, and weirdly unforgettable.

Perfect for fans of nostalgic humour, Aussie storytelling, and anyone who's ever asked: "Are we there yet?"
