In conversation with WSU's own Dr Felicity Castagn In conversation with WSU's own Dr Felicity Castagna, WSU's own Dr Tegan Bennett Daylight launched her new #YANovel on campus last week - Royals. Six teenagers. An empty shopping centre. No Wi-Fi. And … a baby? Acclaimed author Tegan Bennett Daylight’s first novel for young adults reconceives Lord of the Flies for Gen Z. With no phones, no internet and no way out, six trapped teens are completely disconnected from the outside world ... and their online lives. It’s hard to say whether they’ll be driven to delinquency, or – even worse – forced to make friends irl. Will the limitless bubble tea, Maccas and new sneakers be enough to keep the six teens satisfied until they can find a way out, or is this the start of something much more sinister? #creativewriting #westernsydneyuniverity #creativewritingcourses
