'Mia thinks boys are immature. They only talk about cars and sports. They only think about sex.

'Will has no idea what girls talk about. He wishes he were a fly on the wall. He wishes he had a tape recorder and a hidden microphone ....

'Fifteen Love is a funny up-and-down story about a boy and a girl, a viola and a tennis racquet; about family and friends, flirting and true love.' (Publication summary)
1 3 y separately published work icon The Passenger Seat Robert Corbet , St Leonards : Allen and Unwin , 2000 Z1689159 2000 single work novel young adult 'Shell was the kick up the bum that Bones and me both needed. All of a sudden everything was an adventure again, like the time we first escaped from Central Avenue. Shell was a roly-smoking, law-breaking A-plus reject, and she had Bones and me going nuts for her right from the start.

That was the hitch, basically. Because two's company, three's a maggot heap.

The Passenger Seat is a story about friendship, sex and graffiti, about choice and destiny and the writing on the garage wall.' (Publisher's blurb)
