From award-winning author Phil Earle comes the hilariously agonising account of one teenage boy’ s disastrous attempts to win the heart of the cool new girl at school.
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.
