Get a Grip, Cooper Jones
By Sue Whiting
What do you do when life’s spinning out of control?
Cooper Jones wishes his life was simple – like it used to be. When all he needed to worry about was whether to get up for swim training or sleep in. Suddenly, his life’s become complicated.Cooper can’t stop thinking about his dad – a man he has never known – and now Mum’s starting to act weird too. When the gorgeous Abbie arrives in Wangaroo Bay, Cooper realises that he’s not the only one whose life is complicated. With tensions growing and bushfires threatening, Cooper needs to get a grip – fast.
- A fresh story, with themes, such as self-identity, friendship and family, which teenagers will relate to
- A fantastic novel from Sue Whiting, author of Freaky and The Firefighters
