- About the Book
-
‘Watson’s style is to reveal Juice’s selfishness to us, the readers, and to the other characters in her snappy novel, but to keep Juice blissfully in the dark – until the final race. And, if you’re not reading it to find out whether or not she beats the record time, you’ll be madly turning the pages to find out if she does, finally grow up.’ The West Australian
Jenna Stewart — Juice — and her friends, are young athletes with dreams of success at the highest level. Juice has her sights set on gold in the Olympic one hundred metres, but rivalry with her oldest friend Sam, the demands of school, her mother’s embarrassing secret, and the imminent departure of her accordion-playing gran threaten to get in the way. And then there’s Von — at first they’re just training partners but something happens, and suddenly Juice can’t get him out of her mind.
