‘Haunting... dangerous and desperate, but also full of courage and hope.’ The Guardian



  1. Europe is in ruins. Millions of people dream of finding happiness somewhere else.


Fourteen-year-old Felix is one of them. When he's offered a journey to somewhere far away, he seizes the opportunity. So does someone very dear to him, even though she wasn't actually invited.


They have high hopes for their new land, and their dramatic arrival there makes them want to stay. But before Felix and Anya can embrace the love and friendship of their new world, they must confront the murderous urge for revenge still alive in the old.


Felix knows he hasn't faced anything like this before.


He may not survive, but he's hoping he will.


Maybe.


Blending humour and heart, Maybe is a coming-of-age story about identity, family, and the search for truth and explores the devastating and long-lasting impact of loss and trauma.


‘Morris Gleitzman has discovered the difficult trick of changing reality so that poignancy and laughter are never far apart.’

The Australian


‘Painfully truthful.’

The Sunday Times


‘Funny and shocking at the same time.’

Morris Gleitzman

Morris Gleitzman grew up in England and came to Australia when he was sixteen.

After university he worked for ten years as a screenwriter. Then he had a wonderful experience.

He wrote a novel for young people. Now, after 36 books, he's one of Australia's most popular children's authors.

In February 2018 Morris was chosen as the Australian Children’s Laureate for 2018-19.

I want to be an ambassador for the fears and hopes and dreams and dreads that young people have as they contemplate and navigate today’s world, and also as they think about the possibilities of their future adult worlds,’ Gleitzman said.

‘Much of my time will be spent championing stories as a medium for young people to engage creatively with those possibilities. Stories reveal themselves in our imaginations, our intellects and our emotions—all places where we work on our own destinies.’
