Description

A BEST BOOK OF THE 21st CENTURY

Kirkus Reviews

Could summer in your neighborhood turn out to be better than an exotic holiday overseas? Nora and her new neighbor are about to find out…

Nora has no plans for the summer. Suddenly, she finds herself lying in front of the entire class, telling them she is going to the Mediterranean for three weeks. And then the lie keeps growing and growing via social media. The only problem is that the new boy in class has moved to Nora's neighborhood and he will easily find out that she is not in the Mediterranean. Perhaps the best summer holiday is the one you thought would be the worst?

A warm, believable story about friendship, first love, and social media from Norwegian author Marianne Kaurin.
