Other editions of book Diving In by Kate Cann

Coll loves to swim - diving into the clear blue water makes her feel free. Much freer than it's possible to at home, with her larger-than-life mother and her mother's needy friends cluttering up the kitchen table.There's also the boy Coll keeps seeing at the pool - he's gorgeous, and he swims like a shark. He's the subject of her creative daydreams. Then one afternoon - he asks her out. Close up, he's even more good looking. But he's also confident, privileged, and very pushy ...As Coll struggles to get what she wants from their relationship, she begins to wonder just how far she should go. Can she cope with a boyfriend who's much more experienced than she is? How much should she rein in what she's increasingly feeling? Will she turn out like her man-hating mum - or like Art's sad last girlfriend, who suddenly got dumped? Just how fast should Coll be diving into love?A passionate tale of a first sexual relationship, Diving In shows just how vital it is for girls to hold out for what they want - to make themselves heard. Coll is an intelligent, feisty, funny heroine - but is she a match for Art? This is the first in the Coll & Art series - In the Deep End and Sink or Swim follow.
