Chris Higgins – author of 32C, that’s Me, Pride and Penalties, and The Day I Met Suzie among many other award-winning teen/Ya novels – has returned to teen/YA fiction with her new novel, set in a surfing community, inspired by a remarkable true story.
The My Funny Family series (Hodder Children’s Books) and the first two in the Trouble series – Trouble Next Door and Trouble at School (Bloomsbury) have kept her busy, but she’s delighted to be writing for the 11+ readership that got her hooked on writing in the first place.

‘One boy, the girl he loves, and the distance between them…’
