Winter is a young adult novel by John Marsden published by Pan Macmillan in 2000. The novel follows 16-year-old Winter, who returns to her family's estate after a long absence and uncovers secrets about the deaths of her parents.
Winter was generally well received, but earned less critical acclaim than some of Marsden's other works, including the Tomorrow series, Letters from the Inside and So Much to Tell You.
Winter was inspired by Marsden's own experience of moving into a rundown house in the country. The descriptions of Winter's house and her efforts to restore it are a real-life description of Marsden's own house, and his own efforts to restore it.
