Synopsis

A fun and feisty new novel from master storyteller Jean Ure – with a gorgeous new cover look to appeal to all girls who love real-life stories.

Thirteen-year-old Tamsin has never had a boyfriend, and she's starting to feel left behind. Even her ten-year-old sister has a boyfriend, so surely it must be her turn soon! When Tamsin meets Alex, she just can't stop thinking about him, and she’s thrilled when he asks her out on a date. But he’s sixteen and has already left school. Before she knows it, Tamsin is lying about her age and going behind her parents back... but for how long can she keep up the pretence?

A charming story about the innocence of first love – and learning to do the right thing.

From the Back Cover:

"Do you think we're boring?" said Katie.

It was one of my secret fears. But I wasn't about to confess it. We were good girls, me and Katie. We didn't skip homework, bunk off school or have boyfriends. Well, not until I met Alex, and then WHAM BAM!

That was when it happened. I was drifting on a cloud ...

An enchanting story about first love - and learning to do the right thing.
