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 shes thrilled when he asks her out on a date. But hes 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.
