The Summer of Kicks

Starrphyre is your average dorky 16-year-old, although with one difference. He has a very weird girly name, thanks to his hippy parents. A long hot summer stretches ahead of Starrphyre and all he wants is one date with his dream girl, Candace McAllister. But how can he get her to notice him?

From the outrageously talented author and cartoonist Dave Hackett comes a laugh-aloud, heartfelt and vivacious novel.

The Summer of Kicks introduces Starrphyre, your typical dorky 16-year-old with one unique trait: his unusually feminine name. This is courtesy of his hippy parents—a live-to-air radio sex therapist mum and a bass player dad from a tragic one-hit-wonder 80s metal band.

A long, hot summer lies ahead for Starrphyre, whose one wish is to secure a date with his dream girl, Candace McAllister. Yet how can he capture her attention when she's the apple of every high-school guy's eye? Perhaps forming a band with his video-game obsessed friends might just be the key to winning her over...
