BIGG SCHOOL: Secret Crush

Lisa Williamson

£7.99

The third story in the Bigg School series, stories about a class of Year Sevens starting out at the Henry Bigg Academy. Each book tells the story from a different character – and now it’s Astrid’s turn!

Astrid likes being different. Who cares if most of her classmates think she’s a bit odd? She’s happy being exactly who she is.

When new boy Teddy joins the school, Astrid discovers that they have loads in common – he loves reading the same fantasy books and joins the Scribble Society too. But on Valentine’s Day, when Astrid discovers that Teddy likes someone else more than her, being different doesn’t feel so great after all. It’s clearly time for Astrid to try fitting in – but things don’t quite go as planned…

A sweet, touching story about first crushes and staying true to yourself.
