Romance
Luke first spots Eve at his dad's funeral. She's gorgeous, and she's the perfect distraction from his messed up family life. But there's only one problem - she's got a boyfriend. Still, Luke is not going to give up that easily, and when he meets Ryan at a party he hears about the ‘Six Steps method' which apparently guarantees success with any girl. Luke determines to put it to the test and, step by step, he begins to get closer to Eve. But it’s not all plain sailing; one step forward seems to mean two steps back, and when Luke is hospitalised by Eve’s jealous boyfriend, he wonders if any girl - even one as gorgeous as Eve - is really worth it.
If you enjoyed Six Steps to a Girl, don't miss the rest of the series: Three's a Crowd and The Only and Only.
"This summer story races along at a page-gulping rate, and is all the better for being told from a boy's puzzled, wry perspective."
"A real page-turner, and written excellently… there is loads of emotions in this book, and the characters are believable and well described."
"I have read both the stories [Six Steps and Three’s a Crowd] about Eve and Luke. I really loved them... they have all the ingredients that I think make an excellent book... tense and riveting!"
"So far I've read Six Steps and Three's a Crowd, they were seriously good... it's like you [Sophie McKenzie] know exactly how teenagers feel... you actually write the things a normal teenager would do… I didn't want them to end!"
Sophie was born and brought up in London, where she still lives with her teenage son. She has worked as a journalist and a magazine editor, but fell in love with writing after being made redundant and enrolling in a creative writing course. She burst into the publishing world with Girl, Missing her debut novel (published 2006), which tallied up numerous award wins nationwide, including the Richard and Judy Best Kids’ Books 2007 (12+ category), The Red House Book Award and The Manchester Children’s Book Award. She was also longlisted for the Branford Boase award, which commends debut authors, and the coveted Carnegie Medal.
