A daring and provocative novel for young adults read by Finty Williams
An absorbing portrait of a forbidden relationship, from Children's Laureate Jacqueline Wilson .
Fourteen-year-old Prue and her sister Grace have been home-schooled by their strict father all their lives. All their attempts to be like ordinary teenagers - buying trendy clothes, reading glossy magazines - are greeted with fury by their Dad.
But when Dad has a stroke and ends up in hospital, Mum sends them to the local comp and they experience school life for the first time. Prue had never thought it would be so bitchy, and she finds it hard to fit in. The only person she can talk to is her young, handsome teacher Rax. They bond over art lessons, and he asks her to babysit while he and his wife have a night out.
This becomes a regular 'date' and Prue can't wait for the ten minutes they have alone together as he drives her home. As her feelings for Rax develop, she begins to realise that perhaps he feels the same way about her. But he can't act upon it — can he?
Jacqueline Wilson has sold over 20 million books in the UK and has been awarded an OBE for services to literacy in schools. Among her many awards are the Smarties Prize , the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and Blue Peter's People's Choice Award.
