Bloomsbury presents… Almost Nothing Happened by Meg Rosoff read by Jaouhar Ben Ayed

Paris. August. One long summer of nothing. 48 hours of everything. From the inimitable Meg Rosoff comes a chaotic and irresistible YA.
17-year-old Callum is facing an unfortunate truth: his summer exchange in rural France was a failure. No epic adventure, no summer fling, and his French is still rubbish. Just as he should be boarding the Eurostar home, without even a hint of a plan, Callum impulsively decides to stay (and doesn't bother telling his parents).
He only knows one person in Paris: his long-lost cousin, Harrison, an oboist. As night falls on the hottest weekend of the year, an adventure begins – involving a motorbike, a curfew, a stolen oboe, a priceless Matisse painting, at least one police chase, a climate protest and the enigmatic, alluring, irresistible Lilou …
A completely delicious, funny, fast-paced summer read from the multi-award-winning author of How I Live Now, The Great Godden and Friends Like These.©2024 Meg Rosoff (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews

Nobody writes like Meg Rosoff. An absolute masterclass in voice
This book is pure wit. Nobody captures the teenage experience quite like Meg Rosoff, and here it is laid out in all its mortifying, sweaty, hilarious, brilliant glory. A caper of the highest order
Adore it. Pure unmissable fun and wisdom combined
The latest coming-of-age story from the bestselling, award-winning author will be devoured by teens everywhere
Slapstick comedy meets coming-of-age pathos in a gloriously witty adventure encapsulating all the awkwardness and yearning of being 17
As ever with Rosoff, the voice is pitch-perfect – that beautifully adolescent mix of longing and sharp, clueless and world-weary – and the story compulsively readable
