"Saving Francesca" was written by Melina Marchetta, who also wrote the famous novel, Looking For Alibrandi. In this book, the story gets told from a 16 year old, Italian girl's point of view. We get to hear about Francesca's thoughts on life as a 16 year old and also how her life has changed since she's changed schools.
This book is about a teenager by the name of Francesca Spinelli. Francesca attended St Stella's School, an all girl school that only goes to Year 10 and for Year 11 her mother decides that Francesca should go to St Sebastian's (an all boy school that just started accepting girls) instead of Pius Senior College because her mother says that she didn't bring Francesca up to have limitations placed upon her. Unfortunately for Francesca, she wanted to go to Pius Senior College because everyone in her 'group' are going to that school.
