Stray

Fifteen-year-old Charli is a girl under pressure. When Year 10 exams push her to breaking point, she rebels hard. But when a graffiti stunt goes too far and her friend, Nudge, is expelled, Charli is handed one last chance to turn things around: a week of community service at Rosevale Animal Rescue Centre. As Charli bonds with a wary stray cat, she realises that mistakes don’t define a person, and that compassion, accountability and courage can exist side by side.
Stray is an emotionally-rewarding contemporary Australian story about pressure, mistakes and second chances.
