Losing It

Melvin Burgess, Keith Gray, Patrick Ness, Anne Fine, Sophie McKenzie, Bali Rai, Jenny Valentine and Mary Hooper.

You never forget your first time and you'll never forget this book!

Julia Eccleshare - Lovereading

"Subject matter with stylistic and thematic variety; witty, poignant, and clever."
Robert Dunbar - Books for Keeps
