Mate Match

Description: Joe has never been 'cool' or 'hot' - he'd rather slog over a brand new recipe than spend hours obsessing over an Instagram image. When dating app Mate Match is launched to connect with teens at other schools, suddenly Joe has got to learn the rules of the dating game and big sister Georgia and her boyfriend Aaron are on hand to teach him everything he needs to know. And it seems the trick to success is to lie - about being in a band, about his hobbies (no cooking to be mentioned!), even his name. But when Joe gets matched with self-obsessed stunner Tania, his lies look set to unravel fast. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+ Author Biography: Pete Johnson is one of the UK's top comedy writers for children, collecting numerous awards, including a shortlisting for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. He is also a NLT Reading Champion and has had his work translated into over 22 languages.
