The December Boys by Michael Noonan
 
When a group of close friends leaves the dusty outback orphanage where they've grown up for a summer holiday together at the coast, their future is full of possibilities. But the chance that one of them, just one, might gain a real family to live with calls everything they thought they knew about themselves and each other into question. The December Boys, has long been acknowledged as an Australian Classic. First published in 1963 and commended for the Miles Franklin Award, it remains one of Australia's most loved coming of age stories, redolent with change, friendship and hope.
