Scrums and Bananas tells the tale of fifteen year old Jonathan Jones, or JJ as he’s known throughout the valley. Set in beautiful Ebbw Vale, South Wales, JJ, a youth rugby player seemed to have it all, until his Dad announced he was re-marrying; taking his vows the second time round to a man called Mike!

With an alcoholic grandmother, a mother who’s certifiably bonkers and a next door neighbour who’s priorities in life are Coronation Street and silk dressing gowns, dealing with his father's new found sexuality is certainly not the easiest of tasks.

Then there’s an accident and JJ is forced to reconsider his beliefs and morals on every level. Will there be a ‘Just Married’ sign at the final whistle, or not?

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
