Synopsis

The first day of term has got off to a bad start for Maeve. Late to school, stuck sitting next to the most annoying boy in her class, and now she’s been forced to buddy up with the new girl!Annie and Maeve have almost nothing in common, and they definitely do not want to be friends. But from braving the high swing at camp to battling it out in the talent contest, maybe, just maybe, this fiasco could grow into friendship.From the joys of friendship to navigating the world while living with a disability, Olivia Muscat’s own-voice debut novel for young readers pokes fun at society’s assumptions, and celebrates the unexpected happiness of finding somebody who really gets who you are.
