Synopsis

Abbie Palmer is ecstatic when she receives an e-mail from her beautiful French 'e-mate' Colette telling her she wants to visit in the summer holidays. Then Abbie realises Colette will find out she lied about her background, so she tries to put her off with a message saying she is going away for the summer. Unfortunately Colette doesn't get Abbie's message. She turns up unexpectedly and that's when Abbie's problems start. First of all Colette turns out to be an absolute stunner. She looks more like eighteen than sixteen and Abbie feels young and fat in comparison. Secondly Abbie has fallen in love with the gorgeous Richard Farnham, a young teaching student who is going to do his placement at Abbie's school, but Richard falls for Colette instead, even though Colette claims to be in love with someone else. Abbie is heartbroken, but tries not to let them know how she feels. Can she ever make Richard notice her, or will he be always out of reach?

About the Author

Tracey Morait was born in Liverpool, England, in 1964 and now lives in Bristol with her husband and cat. She has been writing since the age of 14, but didn't publish seriously until 2007. Her books cover various genres for children and young adults like sport (especially football, or soccer), fantasy, science fiction and family sagas. As she finishes one book, she always has another in mind. Even though it's hard work, it's unlikely she'll ever stop writing. She writes because she loves to spin a yarn.

As she gets to know her characters, she forms relationships with them and they've become real people to her, a growing family of paper children and grandchildren to compensate for the lack she has in real life, but that's not why she chose to write for this age group; it chose her after she read her first full length children's novel at the age of 10.

She is not ashamed to admit all her books are self-published.
