According to the rule, Freddie has to say "yes".
Freddie is unremarkable—too unremarkable. He doesn't stand out in any way, and in fact teachers and fellow students keep forgetting who he is. Even his mum thinks he's a disappointment, and spends almost all her time at work, producing a TV show.
After a particularly awful night when he embarrasses himself in front of Jasper Perry (the gorgeous teen star of his mum's new show), Freddie decides to follow a new, proactive philosophy designed to transform his social and romantic life: saying 'yes' to every opportunity.
It works! Freddie finds himself auditioning for the school musical (Grease), actually going to parties, and flirting with hot new boy Zach! He's becoming a whole new Freddie—maybe even one that his mum might be proud of.
But the path to love is never smooth, and sometimes getting things very wrong is an important part of figuring out what—and who—you really want.
A funny, heart-pulling story from one of the UK's leading writers of LGBTQ+ teen fiction.
Simon James Green is the Carnegie nominated author of young adult novels Heartbreak Boys, Alex in Wonderland, Noah Can't Even, and Noah Could Never. His short story, "Penguins," features in the Proud book anthology. His other work includes his first picture book, Llama Glamarama, illustrated by Garry Parsons, and his middle-grade debut, Life of Riley: Beginner's Luck.
Philip Battley is a highly experienced audiobook producer and narrator, with his own studio. He has narrated over seventy audiobook titles, which are available on Audible.com. Whether your characters are preparing to attend a Regency Ball, on a quest into outer space, battling the undead, slipping between the sheets with someone they shouldn't, or on a mission to save their younger brother from some monsters in the pond at the bottom of the garden (yes, he's narrated them all), Philip can bring your story to audible life. His versatility and wide vocal range mean performing multiple characters with different voices, and genders are his specialty. Philip works with bestselling authors, publishers, and audio studios in the US and UK. As a classically trained actor who has performed on stage (West End, Shakespeare's Globe), television (BBC, PBS, ITV, Channel 4, Lifetime), and in movies, he prides himself on following direction. A lot of love and care go into each voice. He's very organized, but easy to work with and always delivers on time.
