The Kissing Game

by Jean Ure Narrated by John Pickard

Overview

Salvatore d'Amato is determined to get a kiss before his birthday - easier said than done. From the bestselling and much-loved Jean Ure.

No child is ever ordinary, and certainly not Salvatore d'Amato - or Sally Tomato, as he's sometimes called. He's out to get a girl and he has a plan: he's going to write some Disgusting Ditties - one for each letter of the alphabet, and start some secret body-building, too. That way he's bound to attract someone. (But he doesn't want his sister to know his plans...)

Jean Ure perfectly captures the lives of ordinary children - their lives, with all their ups and downs, are presented with courage, humour and tenacity. These are special children who any child can relate to and will draw inspiration and hope from their stories of their lives.

This humorous tale of juvenile romance is a testament to Jean Ure's prowess in children's fiction, making The Kissing Game a top pick for kids.

For fans of Katie Kirby (The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks), Tom Fletcher (The Christmasaurus), Liz Pichon (Tom Gates 17), Dav Pilkey (Dog Man), and Jen Carney (The Day My Dog Got Famous).
