Synopsis

It's the lazy end of summer and Freya is about to start her A levels. Her brother Joe died a year ago, but she is slowly coming to terms with his death. She is beginning to feel ready for something new - a change. And then a railway accident brings her by chance into contact with the gorgeous Gabes. Freya is drawn not just to Gabes himself and his blond good looks, but everything about him, including his large, shambolic, warm and loving family, which seems to Freya so different to her own family of three. And then Gabes' clearly troubled older brother makes it clear he is interested in Freya - and Freya has some decisions to make about what she really wants.

Media Reviews
Julia Green is a writer to watch * David Almond *
Praise for Bringing the Summer: I just loved this story. It's tender and absorbing and truthful * Bookbag *
Praise for Breathing Underwater: Excellent story . . . from an author who, notably, has written unpatronisingly and sensitively about teenagers' feelings * The Bookseller *
The book's chief strength is its convincing depiction of Emily herself, and the inner turmoil which matches that of her world . . . Teenage girls will enjoy the book because of Emily, in whose character and life they will find much that is both familiar and eye-opening * School Librarian *
Never has that sun-soaked, salt-crusted sense of teenage summer well-being been better described * Guardian *
