!! ALL CREDITS GO TO LILI WILKINSON FOR WRITING THE ORIGINAL FICTION. THIS WATTPAD VERSION WAS WRITTWN BY ME. ORIGINAL COVER ALSO BELONGS TO LILI WILKINSON. !! 'I did meet a Boy. I met him at the library,' I say. 'He has wavy brown hair, and he's English. He's gone back to England.' Midge is sixteen and has never been kissed - so she invents a boyfriend. Then she is paired with George for a major school project. George is the New Guy who doodles dragons, tucks his shirt, has an unseemly interest in secrets and a mysterious past. Not a good start to the school year. Midge starts fabricating emails from her imaginary boyfriend, and even a MySpace page. Her secret is getting out of control. Then one day, he appears in the school corridor. Tall, brown wavy hair, English accent - Ben. Exactly as she's described him. Ben seems to be the answer to her prayers. A dream come true. Or is he? And what strange secret is George hiding? Before long Midge finds herself in all sorts of trouble. A sparkling story about friendship, family and the (Not Quite) delights of an over-active imagination. (Each story chapter is explained by a definition below.)

Cover by the amazing @LNRoberts1 It's 1983 and high school sophomore, Anne Kelly's home life is coming apart at the seams. What's more, her friends are hanging with the popular crowd, and Anne doesn't feel she fits in. She gradually becomes fixated with a shy junior on the swim team named Gavin Maloney, but her friends think he's a total loser. However, Anne only becomes more interested in Gavin, and she decides to take a prank her friends played on him a step further. She begins writing him letters, not the stupid anonymous notes her friends put in his locker to taunt him, but real letters. Gavin has lost his mom to cancer and his father has gone missing. He now lives with his grandfather who is in a deteriorating state of Alzheimer's disease. It's a secret that Gavin must keep. Nobody can know or they will separate Gavin from his grandfather and put them both in state run homes. Gavin's plan is to stay invisible. Once he turns 18, he'll be a legal adult and nobody will be able to separate him from his grandfather. He just has to hold out one more year. But it isn't easy. Everyone needs friends, and now this Anne girl has singled him out. Part of him aches for human contact, and he's not immune to her quirky sense of humor, but she might be totally insane. She's practically stalking him, and if he befriends her, she might find out about his grandfather and ruin his plan. But what if he just wrote her back?
