Product description

Jaime never wanted to go on the school exchange trip to Spain. She finds life awkward enough as it is – especially with her embarrassing blushing habit. Living in someone else’s home, and in a foreign country, is far too frightening for her! But with the persuasion of Mum and her best friends, she reluctantly agrees to go and stay with the carefully selected and colourfully-named Concepción Inmaculada. After all, a girl named after the Virgin Mary has got to be quiet, kind and gentle… right? Wrong! Concha is a scary, rebellious, boy-mad loner with a mind of her own. Now Jaime will have to be prepared for anything and everything as she sails way out of her comfort zone! Olé!

Praise for Chris Higgins:
