Description

The trials and embarrassing life of Gracie Dart. For fans of Geek Girl. Gracie Dart is your classically studious, career-focussed girl, with a triple-checked colour-coded revision timetable. But now GCSEs arebehind her Gracie suddenly starts feeling, WHAT IS THE POINT? When Gracie thinks she is dying of some terminal illness on return from her family holiday to Spain, she looks again at her life. You only live once, she realises. Even though that fatal skin disease turned out to simply be overdoing the fake-bake lotion. Thanks to the nice A+E nurse for clearing that up. When Gracie decides to do something, just like her colour-coded revision timetable, she does it properly. Gracie Dart is about to live out her dreams . . . however embarrassing. A brilliantly funny new teen series from YA author Jess Vallance, perfect for fans of Geek Girl.

Reviews

Hilarious -- Holly Bourne author of the bestselling SPINSTER CLUB series and IT ONLY HAPPENS IN THE MOVIES * Holly Bourne author of the bestselling SPINSTER CLUB series and IT ONLY HAPPENS IN THE MOVIES * Funny, heart-warming, with just the right amount of bite, Gracie Dart is the gay successor to Georgia Nicolson that we've all been waiting for. -- Lauren James, author of THE LONELIEST GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE I have long loved and idolised Jess Vallance; now I feel the same about Gracie Dart. -- Eleanor Wood, author of BECOMING BETTY and MY SECRET ROCKSTAR BOYFRIEND. Co-creator of I AM NOT ASHAMED Gracie Dart is the screamingly funny YA heroine I've been waiting for - uptight and awkward, but full of heart, I identified with her woes and wacky adventures in equal measure. A perfect addition to the LGBTQ+ canon. * Harriet Reuter Hapgood, author of THE SQUARE ROOT OF SUMMER * You Only Live Once is funny, touching, and it's a promising start to a new teen series. * The Book Bag * This book was a bundle of joy, an absolute delight to read ... I'm so glad this is going to be a series. I can't wait to see what Gracie does next, for more overthinking and laughter * Tea Party Princess * If you loved Geek Girl, you'll also love this!... This is a pitch-perfect look at the struggle of balancing the now with the future ... a fun, contemporary YA but with surprising emotional depth - I laughed and cried whilst reading this! * Chrikaru Blog * Laugh out loud at Grace's inadvertently hilarious adventures but be warned there is genuine heart at the centre of this book * Inis Reading Guide * A funny and quirky new series ... perfect for fans of Louise Rennison and Geek Girl * WRD Magazine * A funny and quirky new series featuring the trials and embarrassing tribulations of Gracie Dart. Perfect for fans of Louise Rennison and Geek Girl. -- WRDXTRA * WRDXtra * A thought provoking read that is funny and almost painful to read in equal measures. * The School Librarian magazine * Unique and hilarious * Teen Titles magazine *
