An Empowering English Resource For Teens
A Homeschool Novel Study utilising the award winning novel: Osu
Are you looking for a meaningful and engaging homeschool novel study for your preteen or teen? Osu is an internationally award-winning coming-of-age novel, voted on by teen judges across multiple schools, and supported by its own comprehensive classroom and homeschooling learning resource.
My debut novel follows Olive, a 16-year-old loner uprooted from her busy city life and relocated to a quiet Australian town. As she slowly builds new friendships, Olive realises that the stories you tell yourself can either hold you back or help you grow. Her journey includes themes of resilience, confidence, courage, belonging, and self-belief, making Osu a powerful choice for a homeschool English unit.
To help homeschooling parents get the most out of the novel, I created a complete Homeschool Novel Study Resource that aligns perfectly with the book. It includes discussion questions, writing prompts, and cross-curricular activities that span English, art, geography, and personal development. Everything is clearly structured, easy to use, and designed to deepen comprehension while encouraging meaningful conversations.
Whether your student reads independently or you choose to work through the chapters together, this ready-made resource transforms Osu into a rich, memorable unit study without any prep work required. It supports critical thinking, encourages creativity, and offers a relatable story that teens genuinely connect with.
Let Osu become the centrepiece of your next homeschool novel study. Explore the book, use the accompanying resource, and watch your learner engage deeply with literature while growing in confidence and self-awareness.
