Almost Nothing Happened by Meg Rosoff

Paris. August.

One long summer of nothing.

48 hours of everything.

From the inimitable Meg Rosoff comes a chaotic and irresistible new 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
