Jaime never wanted to go on the school exchange trip to Spain in the first place. She finds life awkward enough as it is and, because of her embarrassing blushing habit, she tries to avoid drawing attention to herself. Living in someone else's home, and in a foreign country, is way out of her comfort zone! But she reluctantly has agreed to stay with the carefully selected and colourfully-named Concepcion Inmaculada. After all, a girl named after the Virgin Mary has got to be quiet, kind and gentle ...Wrong! Concha is a scary, rebellious, boy-mad loner with a mind of her own. Jaime is going to have to be prepared for anything and everything! Ole!

Review
'This is another great novel by Chris Higgins ... The story moves at a fast pace and is full of drama that always keeps you turning the pages.' -- Chicklish 'This story captured my interest from the beginning and I was thrilled that it got better and better as I read. The author packs a great deal into this average-length teen book and every page had me wanting a little bit more. The characters in the story are superb: well fleshed out, with authentic voices for their age (and nationality).' -- The Book Bag PRAISE FOR CHRIS HIGGINS:'Chris Higgins gives her loyal audience another tremendously enjoyable read in Love Ya Babe. She has a light touch and an easy style that absorbs you right from the very start.' -- The Bookbag 'This a funny, interesting, heart-warming story.' -- Chicklish '... exciting and engaging and its a hard one to put down when youve started.' -- The Bookbag A thundering good read -- The Cornishman A touching tale of romance, friendship & family -- Publishing News A poignant novel...
