A hilarious and heart-warming story of first love for readers aged 12+
“First love is heartbreaking! But this story of one teenage boy's disastrous attempts to win the heart of the cool girl at school is witty, wise and super accessible. Perfect for young teens and reluctant readers.”
~Emily
Marv’s fourteen and his life is simple. There’s football. And his best mate, Jimmy. Perfect.
Nothing else matters until a new girl at school called Carly crashes into his life. For Marv, it’s love at first sight, his emotions flipped upside down, as he knows a girl like Carly will never notice him.
He needs help – lots of it – but when it miraculously arrives in the shape of a musical idol from the past, the path to Carly’s heart proves anything but easy …
First love is unforgettable, and poor Marv is about to learn this the hard way – him, and his northern soul …
