Description
Can a list save a life? Xander Maze loves lists, and his grandmother is #1 on his list of People I Love Most in the World. But now that Nanna has stage 4 cancer, can a new list of 100 Remarkable Feats really save her? Particularly when his list contains difficult things like #2 Make a Friend and #3 Make a Best Friend - plus #10 Kiss a Girl (preferably Ally Collins, the girl of Xander's dreams). Funny, moving and with a protagonist you can't help but fall in love with, 100 Remarkable Feats of Xander Maze is a book about: 1. Never accepting the unacceptable 2. The power of lists 3. One boy's unconditional love for his nanna PRAISE This coming-of-age, pay-it-forward rom-com is filled with moments of poignancy for the reader.' - Michael Earp, Books + Publishing AWARDS Shortlisted - Prime Minister's Literary Awards 2022 (Young Adult Literature) Shortlisted - Australian Book Design Awards 2022
