Another friend who shares Alison's passion to inspire & motivate teens (every age really!) is well-known Brisbane Author, "The Girl Most Likely" Rebecca Sparrow. Rebecca has inspired many teenagers to believe in themselves & follow their dreams & continues to be a true inspiration & mentor to Alison. Bec is an inspirational & entertaining speaker with her refreshing blend of natural warmth & wit making her a pleasure to listen to, & her books a delight to read! Rebecca's second novel, The Year Nick McGowan Came To Stay, the hilarious prequel to her bestselling novel The Girl Most Likely, was officially launched to rave reviews in May 2006 and the (May/June '07) stage play adaptation of the book was a huge extended season sellout. When Rebecca isn't writing novels, she writes for The Courier-Mail newspaper & gives motivational talks & writing workshops at many schools & businesses across the country. Every Wednesday afternoon (around 3.30pm) Rebecca can be heard on 612 ABC doing a "volunteering" spot where she encourages listeners to consider volunteer work. Rebecca is also the Chair of War Child Australia, an international aid organisation dedicated to providing immediate, effective & sustainable aid to children affected by war.
