As a soldier’s daughter, Romola’s been to six schools in eight years, always having to make new friends a and now enemies. Meanwhile, Sebastian’s mum is about to make the biggest mistake of their lives, unless Sebastian can find his dad in time to stop her. Thrown together by chance, these two thirteen-year-olds set out to even the score. But once that big old ball of revenge starts rolling down the hill, there’s not an awful lot they can do to stop it a or is there?

Review

Young teens Romola and Sebdon’t have their dads athome. Romola’s is a soldierin Afghanistan, and Seb’s isjust AWOL from his family,his place about to be filled bya new man.

Seb can’t handleit and wants to get his ownback. When Romola’s plans for a fresh startat school are scuppered by a mean girl, shegets a taste for revenge too. But where will itend?

The dual narrative works brilliantly andreaders will love Romola and Seb and theirgenuine, platonic relationship. A movingread for sophisticated ages 9 and up.
