Boy Meets Hamster

Boy Meets Hamster is the uproariously funny, sweetly romantic debut novel from Birdie Milano. This is the perfect first summer romance – with a twist.

Fourteen-year-old Dylan Kershaw''s idea of a dream holiday includes at least three things: beaches to bask on, cosmopolitan culture, and a chance for romance (or at least his first kiss) with another boy. Unluckily for Dylan, his mum''s treating the family to the least dreamy holiday ever: a £9.50 break at Starcross Sands, Cornwall''s Crummiest Caravan Park.

But Starcross Sands might not be so bad after all, especially if Dylan can win the heart of Jayden-Lee, the gorgeous boy in the caravan next-door. There''s only one thing standing in true love’s way: the park''s massive hamster mascot, Nibbles, who seems to have it in for both Dylan and his romantic chances. Dylan’s best friend, Kayla, claims that appearances can be deceptive: so is Jayden-Lee just as lovely beneath the surface, and what could be lurking under Nibbles'' furry face?

''It may be set on the caravan park from hell, but this beautiful LGBTQ+ read is positively heavenly'' – Simon James Green, author of Noah Can''t Even
