Darkest Night, Brightest Star

By Barry Jonsberg About

Thirteen-year-old Morgan lives with his dad and his older brother, Mitch. He hasn’t heard from his mum since she left when he was two. He works hard on his football skills, striving to meet his father’s high expectations and ‘be a man’. But what that means isn’t always clear-cut. When Morgan makes a friend at school, gets injured in a game, and his long-lost mum turns up, everything changes. Then, when he meets an old woman in need of help, Morgan must decide what kind of man he wants to be.

Barry Jonsberg

Barry Jonsberg was born in Liverpool in England – home of the world’s greatest soccer team [NOT Everton]. He moved to Australia in 1999 and became an Australian citizen in 2007, though this does not prevent him from supporting the England cricket team. Someone has to. Barry has a B.A. Hons in English Literature and a Master of Philosophy degree in the same subject. He was a lecturer in English in the UK and a high school teacher in Darwin, where he now lives with his wife, Anita, two children, Lauren and Brendan, and a couple of eccentric dogs. Barry still teaches occasionally, but looks upon writing as his full-time occupation.
