TentativeWhen N-fast-talker, quote-collector and head-turner-asks an impossible question before falling asleep on Estrella's shoulder during a Model Government conference, Ella realises two things: one, they look impossibly similar; and two, N is the girl that she would very much like to be. Cue road trip, love triangle, and all the wonderful things that make up teen fiction-but teen fiction with a twist. Somewhere between the works of John Green and Sarah Dessen is "Tentative," the debut novel of Anna J Leader. Awarded the International Prize for the prestigious Sony Young Movellist of the Year Award in 2013 (judged by bestselling author Malorie Blackman), "Tentative" has been called "extremely well-written and innovative" by the staff of the website which co-hosted the award. Anna is ecstatic that she has had the chance to publish this semi-autobiographical novel about European teenagers in the International School system that she knows so well. She hopes that you read it with low expectations, and if nothing else, it has a happy ending. |
