Jack "lurves" Chloe, as his best friend, Cora, puts it – much to his annoyance. Truth is though, he does. She's not like any other girl at school! But, as we all know, the course of true love never runs smoothly – especially when you're a teenager! But when Jack feels rejected, his disappointment begins to manifest itself in something more unpleasant than teenage acne and sweaty armpits!

A timely, cautionary tale of the troubles of the internet, social media and cyberbullying that will resonate with today's generation of teens.

Book Features:
  • Perfectly timed novel for today's teens.
  • Excellent stimulant for opening discussions at school or home about cyberbullying.
  • A thrilling, unputdownable read.
  • Award-winning children's writer.
