Sonny & Tess

First job. First crush. But it's complicated. A sweet and charming middle-grade romance from bestselling and beloved author Nova Weetman. It's the end of year 7 and Tess wants a summer job. She's keen to earn her own money and buy her own clothes. But her mum has other ideas- it looks like Tess will be stuck at home babysitting her twin brothers. Thirteen-year-old Sonny is tired of moving around. With his dad up north, he's staying with his uncle and aunt above their fish and chip shop. And it just so happens his uncle is hiring extra staff for the holidays. When Sonny and Tess crash into each other outside the shop, sparks and dim sims fly. Soon they're both wondering if the other feels the same way - but, as Sonny loves to say, it's complicated. Over hot chips and chicken salt, can these two work out what they really want? Perfect for readers 11 years and older, Sonny & Tess is a delightful, age-appropriate romance that will captivate fans of To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
