Northern Soul

From award-winning author Phil Earle comes the hilariously agonising account of one teenage boy's disastrous attempts to win the heart of the cool new girl at school.

Marv's fourteen and his life is simple. There's football. And his best mate, Jimmy. Perfect.

Nothing else matters until a new girl at school called Carly crashes into his life. For Marv, it's love at first sight, his emotions flipped upside down, as he knows a girl like Carly will never notice him.

He needs help - lots of it - but when it miraculously arrives in the shape of a musical idol from the past, the path to Carly's heart proves anything but easy ...

First love is unforgettable, and poor Marv is about to learn this the hard way - him, and his northern soul ...

Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 8.

"A sweet and touching tale pitched firmly at boys of an awkward age ... crashes and burns in amusing ways that sit somewhere on the teenage cringe scale between Adrian Mole and The Inbetweeners ... Redding's appearance gives the story a brilliantly irreverent edge." - The Times
