Inhaltsangabe

The follow-up to the number one bestseller Paper Aeroplanes, and a prequel to Honey Bee

It's a year and a half on from PAPER AEROPLANES, and Renée is now living idyllically with her Auntie Jo. They even have geese, and Renée likes to sit and watch them, wondering if she'll ever find 'the One' - someone who will love her no matter what, and be there for her no matter how bad things get. She and Flo are in their final year at school, and they've got some tough choices to make - like will they go to university? And if so where - and will they go together?

Renée's usual ambivalence on the matter shocks Flo, who had assumed they'd continue as they were, the best and closest of friends, forever. She feels as though she needs Renée's support more than ever, so when a handsome young boy enters Flo's life, she finds herself powerfully drawn to his kindness, and his faith. Renée and Flo's friendship will soon be tested in a way neither of them could have expected - and if PAPER AEROPLANES was a book about finding friendship, GOOSE is the novel that explores whether it's possible to keep hold of it.

I feel panicky. 'But . . . what about us, Renée? What about our plan? That we would go somewhere where I could go to the uni, you could go to the poly, and we would be in the same city so we could live with each other and go away together?'

'I just don't think we should worry about what each other does. We should just do what we want,' she says, resiliently. I watch her stuff clothes and packets of crisps into her locker and then try to push the door shut with her shoulder. She doesn't seem at all fazed by what she has just said. I feel a tingling in my nose, which means I am going to cry. Please, no.

'You mean you don't want to go to uni with me, like we said?' I ask, my voice unnecessarily high pitched.

'No, I don't mean that. I just mean if it doesn't work out then we shouldn't let it stop us doing what we want to do. We can still see each other, go stay with each other, plan good weekends, that sort of thing. Just don't worry about it. You've been waiting to get off Guernsey most of your life - you can't
let my choices hold you back from going where you want to go,' Renée says, like the thought of us splitting up isn't hideously awful.

'Don't worry, I won't,' I say. Hurt, and with a nose full of that annoying runny snot that comes with tears. I manage to sniff it all back up, which sounds disgusting and makes me feel embarrassed. 'It doesn't matter.'

Renée grabs my arm and smiles. 'It really doesn't. We'll work it out. Come on, I'll walk you to your RS lesson. I've got Classical Civilisation. Because learning about gods from a billion years ago who probably didn't even exist is just what every girl needs to arm her against the challenges of the modern world!'

We walk together down the corridor. Renée talks about what she plans to have for lunch and she doesn't seem to notice that I say nothing at all.

I feel nervous, and like everything is about to change.
