  Colette has dreams of packing a rucksack and taking off. But how can she win the school Travel Writing competition when the furthest she's going this holiday is Weston? There may be sand, but it's definitely not Egypt. However, Colette meets two boys, sandy-haired Robert and dark-eyed Caz who turns Colette's stomach to liquid with a single glance. Maybe Robert's right after all - it's not where you go that matters, it's who you meet while you're there.

  Colette has dreams of packing a rucksack and taking off to faraway lands - flying off from one exotic place to another as a famous foreign correspondent on a London newspaper - or even as the next Kate Adie.
