4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful story., June 11, 2009
By Lonna H. (Chesapeake, Va) - See all my reviews
When Frederick Squire (Fred) finds out that his parents have won a vacation to Australia he is thrilled, that is until he finds out that he will not be joining them. He is given the choice of visiting his grandparents in Scotland or Phil and Julie (family friends) in the United States. When he first arrives in the United States, he is overwhelmed by the differences between here and his home in England.
After some vocabulary misunderstandings, Brittany (Phil and Julie's daughter) and Fred find they enjoy each other's company very much. After meeting some of Brit's friends and enemies Fred feels even closer to her. Young love begins to blossom over typical teenage activities like lunch at the mall, shopping, and baseball.
This book combines humor, conflict and romance into a story that everyone will enjoy. I really enjoyed this book, and I am certain my daughter will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read For Our Young Adults, June 10, 2009
By Stefani Partin "Stefani" (Citrus Heights, CA) -
When I first started reading this book, I thought about my daughter who just had her first experience in an airplane by herself. I could tell by reading the first chapter that this was a book that was geared towards young adults. Even though I am a mom in my thirties, I really enjoyed this book and will recommend it to my oldest daughter who loves to read.
This book is about a boy name Fred who travels from England to the USA to stay with his parent's friends while they go on a trip to Australia. He is mad at the beginning and ends up falling in love. It reminds me of my young teenage years when I first experienced the feelings of love towards young men.
