The Boy from France

Camden Town Tales

by Hilary Freeman

Everybody at school has heard that some of the French exchange students will be boys, and all the girls are desperate to host one of them. All except Vix, who isn't bothered who she gets. She can't imagine that French boys are any better than English boys - and they all seem to be a waste of space. Then she meets exchange student Xavier.

I don't normally read teen fiction, but as I want to write in this genre I thought I ought to study it! This book certainly got a good review in the newspaper, and I can well understand why as it really gets under the skin of the various characters. It is really British, being set around Camden in London, when a group of exchange students arrive from France.
I read an article about the author, Hilary Freeman. She suffers from MS, and this certainly features in the book, which is interesting.

Th book was nice, finished it in one sitting. Easy to read, not many exciting things happened. But overall it was a good story, light on the brain. Easy to read. But I wouldn’t read it a second time.
