From the award-winning author of Hating Alison Ashley, four iconic Young Adult novels published as Text Classics for a new generation of fans
Text has unearthed four previously out-of-print novels to celebrate one of Australian YA's most revered authors, Robin Klein. That these iconic novels were ever out-of-print is an injustice - they are poignant, funny, and every bit as fresh as when they were first published.
The Melling sisters trilogy is ALL IN THE BLUE UNCLOUDED WEATHER (1991), Dresses of Red and Gold (1992) and The Sky in Silver Lace (1995). Klein takes the ordinary moments in the lives of the Melling girls living in 1940s rural Australia -- sibling tiffs, playground politics - and turns their lows into agony, and their highs into triumphs.

"Klein's attention to detail Grace's debutante dress, cooking disasters, coping with the O'Keefe family, cousin Isobel's flights of fancy and her depth of insight into small town ways make this story come to life." --ReadPlus
"A strong salutation towards the joys of childhood and growing up... The themes throughout were relevant both at the time of publishing, and now re-publishing, and each girl offers her love and support to the reader through their respective trials, chapters, and adventures... A sentimental, intimately Australian series about four loving and warring sisters that is a must-read." --Reading Time
