Dates, Double Dates and Big, Big Trouble — Karen McCombie

Ally's feeling inadequate. Why is it that her only romantic experience amounts to a burping-in-mouth scenario with Keith Brownlow? Kyra's only been in Crough End two seconds and she's got a boyfriend already! Even Ally's dad seems to be 'dating'-which is not only embarrassing, but also worrying-has he forgotten all about her mum? Could it be that he's found someone else?

Wonder what this boy's going to be like...
