More on this Book

Antonia is a 'nerd', and Jazz is a 'punk'. Antonia belongs to the maths club. Jazz hangs out at the tattoo parlour. Antonia's parents are divorced and her mother suffers from depression. Jazz is from a wealthy, traditional family. But when these two very different girls find themselves facing each other in a peer-counseling programme, they discover they have some surprising things in common. Alternately funny and heart-wrenching, this is an absorbing read that will keep readers thinking and laughing.
