    About this ebook

    'They call me Bugs. As in Bunny. Yeah I know.' Meet Bugs: smart, sarcastic, sixteen and stuck in a small town without a driver's license. Bugs has been best mates with Jez forever, they've always been Jez and Bugs, Bugs and Jez. That is until Stone Cold, the new girl, arrives in town. Year 12 was already going to be a challenge without adding spoilt, bitchy Stone Cold to the mix. Why would anyone want to be mates with her? But things are never as they seem on the surface - not the picture perfect postcard views of Taupo, not the drama queen antics of Stone Cold, not the quiet brooding of Jez. Not even Bugs. Now as the future closes in, each will struggle with expectation; either trying to live up to them, or trying to live them down.

      Bugs and Jez have been best mates since they were little kids, but this year they are turning sixteen and in year 12 at school. Both have difficult home lives and the introduction of a rich new girl, Charmaine (who Bugs dubs Stone Cold), complicates matters. The pressure is on them all to decide what they are going to do in the future, and the statistics on how poorly Maori are doing just add more stress.I assumed that Bugs was a boy - until I reached page 27 and there was a bra involved! But I really liked that Bugs could have been either. This story is fantastic - the author has totally captured the essence of teenager-hood - highly recommended.
