'"The first time we met, Jewel Valentine saved my life."

'Isn't it enough having your very own terminal disease, without your mother dying? Or your father dating your Art teacher? No wonder Sacha Thomas ends up in the lake that Saturday evening...

'But the real question is: how does he end up in love with Jewel Valentine?

'With the help of quirky teenage prodigies Little Al and True Grisham, Sacha and Jewel have a crazy adventure, with a little lobster emancipation along the way.

'But Sacha's running out of time, and Jewel has secrets of her own.' (From the publisher's website.)
7 22 y separately published work icon Ten Things I Hate about Me Randa Abdel-Fattah , Sydney : Pan Macmillan Australia , 2006 Z1311393 2006 single work novel young adult (taught in 5 units) There are a lot of things Jamie hates about her life: her dark hair, her dad's Stone Age Charter of Curfew Rights, her real name - Jamilah Towfeek. For the past three years Jamie has hidden her Lebanese background from everyone at school. It's only with her email friend John that she can really be herself. But now things are getting complicated: the most popular boy in school is interested in her, but there's no way he would be if he knew the truth. Then there's Timothy, the school loner, who for some reason Jamie just can't stop thinking about. As for John, he seems to have a pretty big secret of his own. (Source: Trove)
