Girl Saves Boy
by Steph Bowe
Girl Saves Boy is the fresh and quirky debut novel from 16-year-old Melbourne blogger Steph Bowe. Isn't it enough having your very own terminal disease, without your mother dying? Or your father dating your Art teacher? No wonder Sacha Thomas ends up in the lake that Saturday evening…but the real question is: how does he end up in love with Jewel Valentine? With the help of quirky teenage prodigies Little Al and True Grisham, Sacha and Jewel have a crazy adventure, with a little lobster emancipation along the way. But Sacha's running out of time, and Jewel has secrets of her own. Funny and sad, silly and wise, Girl Saves Boy is a story of life, death, love…and garden gnomes. '…Steph Bowe has created a beautifully written, honest story about the complexities of life and two hurt teenagers trying to make sense of the world…' Notebook magazine
