Holly: "Holly. I hope you won’t mind me buying you this. I think it’s the sort of thing you’ll like. Am I right? And I think it matches your eyes. This comes with best wishes from (and I know it’s corny). A Friend." And that was how it all started. Holly starts receiving anonymous gifts at the cafe where she works. She can’t believe it – how romantic can you get?
But when Holly finds out the identity of her admirer she is in for a shock – her admirer is not a potential boyfriend: her admirer is her father. Holly has to come to terms with the fact that her father is not the man who lives at home with her, who she loves and calls her father. Her father is a man who has lived all her life on the other side of the world, not even knowing of her existence. Holly and her mother have some talking to do.
Mary Hooper tackles this emotionally fraught situation with tenderness and compassion.
Amy: It’s a difficult time for Amy–her two best friends have abandoned her and she’s feeling lonely and vulnerable. Then, she meets Zed in an internet chat room and their online relationship quickly develops. Amy is thrilled to consider him her boyfriend. But is Zed the person he claims to be? Against her own better judgement and despite her parents warnings, Amy meets Zed at the beach–with frightening consequences.
Schools and libraries, parents and young adults will appreciate this insightful, well-written novel. Mary Hooper delivers a cautionary story for today that is entirely realistic, never preachy and utterly gripping.
Chelsea and Astra: ‘I saw him first. His eyes swivelled round the room and then rested on me and I thought to myself – WOW!’ Chelsea and Astra are like chalk and cheese. But even so, they are the best of friends. They do everything together. Until something happens. That something is a boy. And for the first time ever, Astra and Chelsea are fighting against each other. Will their friendship survive?
Written from the perspectives of each friend, Mary Hooper gets right to heart of what it feels like when the loyalty of even the best of friendships is tested.
Megan: It is Jack’s, Megan’s son, first birthday party and the atmosphere is very tense. But Megan is being distracted by the unusual amount of telephone calls that her mother is getting. Surely Mum hasn’t got a boyfriend has she? But it turns out that she has – and what is more, he is moving in.
This really shakes up the dynamics of the house-hold, which Mary Hooper details with her accustomed very accurate and precise eye for domestic detail. A must for all Megan fans.
