…this funny, relatable, tender and sometimes painfully honest story is a moving reflection of an ordinary youngster navigating friendships, first love and the ups and downs of growing up and secondary school. Entertainment and reassurance in one perfectly created book.

Secret Crush is a great book for showing how changing emotions in our early teens can surprise us
School Reading List
The Bigg series has been such a welcome addition to the library. The concept of telling stories from different members of the same class is a clever idea and Lisa Williamson’s writing shows an understanding of her audience. Jess Bradley’s perfectly pitched illustrations in Secret Crush bring extra humour to this warm, enjoyable series
