Interest Age Teen Reading Age 8 The festival season is almost upon us, and this light-hearted romantic comedy will certainly put readers in the mood! In a tale of mistaken identity that seems to nod to Shakespeare, Sally and Keith meet in the VIP tent of the big festival. Both are there on other people’s passes, acquired legitimately, if in rather demeaning circumstances. Revealed as imposters, they are unceremoniously kicked out into the cow-pat splattered carpark, and there they find themselves, each other - and love! It’s clever and funny, perfect holiday reading. This has two authors - Kevin Brooks and Cathy Forde, both great acclaimed for teens – and they obviously had great fun writing it. ~ Andrea Reece
