A long summer of nothing. 48 hours of everything. From the inimitable Meg Rosoff comes a chaotic and irresistible new YA novel. 17-year-old Callum is facing an unfortunate truth: his summer exchange in rural France was a failure. No epic adventure, no summer fling, and his French is still rubbish. Just as he should be boarding the Eurostar home, without even a hint of a plan, Callum impulsively decides to stay (and doesn't bother telling his parents). He only knows one person in Paris: his long-lost cousin, Harrison, an oboist. As night falls on the hottest weekend of the year, an adventure begins – involving a motorbike, a curfew, a stolen oboe, a priceless Matisse painting, at least one police chase, a climate protest, and the enigmatic, alluring, irresistible Lilou … A completely delicious, funny, fast-paced summer read from the multi-award-winning author of How I Live Now, The Great Godden, and Friends Like These.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 206 x 138 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781526646187\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meg Rosoff","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46582242705658,"sku":"9781526646187","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1723836240429_book.jpg?v=1724066281","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/almost-nothing-happened-9781526646187","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
