Synopsis: |
It couldn't get much worse for Midge - moving from London to sleepy mid Wales. Teased relentlessly by her new schoolmates, and comforted only by the news that Dylan Blane - Hollywood super-star - has Welsh roots, Midge prefers her personal dream-world to the dubious attentions of Kneck Evans and his loutish friends. Co-starring with pin-up Dylan strictly in her imagination, Midge is electrified as dreams start turning into reality. When an international movie company arrives to film "Outlaw Twm" in the wild Welsh hills, not only does Midge land a walk-on part, but she also gets to work alongside Dylan Blane himself. Only that's when Midge's dreams start turning into nightmares...A novel with strongly contemporary themes: relocation, bullying and first love - and their complex effects on young people. Believable teenage characters explore the tensions between dreams and reality. Amusing storyline and sparky dialogue provide the perfect framework for exploring complex moral issues. Celebrities and the media are popular topics with readers of this age group and incorporating such characters is sure to appeal. |
