Fatima, Maureen McCarthy , single work novella young adult
This novella contains references to all four characters (Angie, Alex, Saret and Fatima) from the televison series on which it is based but is centred around the life of Fatima, a Turkish-Australian girl living in a highrise apartment in Melbourne. Fatima struggles against the restrictions imposed on girls in the Turkish community and wants to be able to gain an education. (Source: From the book)
 (p. 3-81)
Saret, Maureen McCarthy , single work novella young adult
'It's tough in the eighties. Nothing's for sure. No promises. If you're going to come through you've got to have friends. Fatima, Saret, Angie. And Alex. They're growing up fast. And growing up can hurt when you're in between. This was it! The children crossed and Saret could see Slater put the car in gear, ready to take off again. Saret quickly pulled down the door handle and threw his weight against the door. He jumped clear of the car. He had a split second vision of Finch lunging after him, face puffy with exertion, and then the attache-case and papers, flying all over the back seat of the car.'Quick, Pete. Get him.' Saret is the second book based on the television mini-series In Between produced by Trout Films and Open Channel for SBS TV.' (Source: Bookseller's website)

A four-part television mini-series depicting life in Australia for four adolescents from different backgrounds.

According to Moran, in his Guide to Australian TV Series, 'In Between was a realistic and absorbing attempt to depict Australia as a multicultural country. The four central figures were "in between" two cultures. In Between also highlighted the fact that many of ethnic background--like Fatima, Saret and Alex--were also very much at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale'.
