Dianne Wolfer is the acclaimed author of many books for teenagers and young readers spanning multiple genres. Her book Lighthouse Girl served as inspiration for PIAF’s The Giants and features in events commemorating the centenary of the departure of the first AIF from Albany. One of Dianne’s picture books, Photographs in the Mud (set along the Kokoda Track), is used as an international peace reference and has been published in Japanese; it is also a recommended resource for the National History Curriculum. Her young adult title Choices has been translated into Polish.

"Young adult fiction that manages to deal with a sensitive issue yet doesn't thrust too much teenage anguish upon us . . . A story about change, agency and responsibility, with a pleasant mix of stylistic neatness and thematic uncertainty." -- Sydney Morning Herald

"This novel is written in a manner that is both honest and touching, as it does not attempt to give a fairy-tale ending and is extremely realistic." -- Courier Mail

"Wolfer paints both scenarios so convincingly that this book begs re-reading and discussion. For teenage boys and girls it should be compulsory reading." -- West Australian

"Wolfer has given honest, non-judgemental pictures ofthe consequences of two different courses of action." -- Magpies
