Nominated for the Carnegie Medal Short-listed for the Stockport Schools' Book Awards Short-listed for the North East Book Awards Nat is the lead singer in a band. He and his best mate Carl (on bass) hang out, until Kate sees them performing one night. Soon she and Nat are going out together. They get on, fall out, make up, and feel their love growing deeper, leading them on. But in one moment everything changes, and all the hopes and promises of the future are shattered. Deeply absorbing, this powerful story is told in different voices and entirely in poems. Lyrical, funny, heart-wrenching and gripping, the variety of poetic forms magically captures the panoply of emotions associated with falling in love for the first time and suffering a bereavement. The authors are a highly experienced and successful poetry- and drama-writing team with a strong reputation for knowing what works for teen readers.
