Maison d'édition: Austin Macauley Publishers

Synopsis

This story takes place in a secluded little town, located by the powerful yet motionless salty sea, a place where not many wished to live and be. Nevertheless, it was the home to a rather gloomy and soulless town where life had become predictable, most people glued to phones with the engulfing clouds of traffic fumes and people bustling around. In this town, lived a little girl who was feeling rather bored and lonely, she was fed up with being different and feeling down. You see, she was a girl that loved to be creative, imagine and dream, aliens and heroes, magic wands, and gigantic laser beams. Even though she was always reminded she was weird, different, she could not help to wonder and dream. You see, she was born unique and different, sometimes things may not be as they seem. One cold and wet, windy day she is walking down the pebbled beach eating fish and soggy chips, all of a sudden from the corner of her eye she thought she saw…no, she's sure she saw a ship!

Worldwide Crush

Kristin Nilsen

Next Generation Indie Book Award Finalist in HumorNational Indie Excellence Award Finalist in Teen FictionEric Hoffer Award Finalist in Children's Literature
Rory Calhoun is a teen popstar with perfect teeth and messy hair who’s inspiring first crushes all over the globe. Millie Jackson is just one of the millions of fans who love him—but that doesn't mean her heart doesn't break for him every single day in this laugh-out-loud coming-of-age story.
How many of Rory’s fans collect “data” about him in a special notebook hidden in their underwear drawer? Or have faked a fascination with whale migration for a chance to visit his hometown? Millie may not be Rory’s only fan at Susan B. Anthony Middle School, but she's convinced she's the biggest—and the best.
Rory’s new song “Worldwide Crush” is climbing the charts, and his lyrics are clear: he’s looking for love—and he’s looking in the audience. Meaning Millie’s secret fantasies of running in the surf and eating waffles with him may not be crazy after all . . . she could be that girl! But first she has to get to his concert—his completely sold-out concert in a city nowhere near her home for which she does not have tickets or a ride. She just has to figure out how.
“With Worldwide Crush, Kristin Nilsen establishes herself as a vibrant new voice in coming-of-age fiction. This funny, big-hearted novel explores family, friendship, and the intoxicating power of first crushes with sometimes cringeworthy accuracy. Readers still in the throes of tweendom will be as charmed by Millie’s emotional journey as those who attended middle school long ago. A winning pick for all generations!”
―Megan McCafferty, New York Times best-selling author of Best Frenemies Forever and the Jessica Darling series
