Description for Tapas and Tears
paperback. Fine copy showing minor shelf wear
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 Concepción 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! Olé!
Re-jacketed in a beautiful new cover, available from August 2013

Reviews for Tapas and Tears
Another gem ... gets straight to the heart of the teenage experience, without a cliche in sight
Western Morning News
Although Chris Higgins does not set out to preach or teach, there is much to be learned from her subtext ... A page turner and a half
Cornishman
'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).'
