Off the Rails: An Australian Novel

After a fifteen-year-old boy discovers a graffiti blackbook, his eyes are opened to the unseen world of Sydney. As his interest in rugby league fades, he finds himself drawn to a different path to his peers. Armed with a spray can and camera, he ventures deep into the world of graffiti and urban exploration. He explores abandoned buildings, scales rooftops and runs through active train tunnels. In Sydney's forgotten spaces, he finds an unexpected community who see the city as he does-not just as a place to live, but as a place of immense beauty, above and below. But when his search for belonging is mistaken as mere rebellion, he's forced to question everything. Inspired by true events, "Off The Rails" is a raw and honest story about the courage it takes to see the world differently, and the power of finding the people who see it too.
