Boy Meets Ghoul
Halloween hijinks, hauntings and hamsters in Boy Meets Ghoul by Birdie Milano, the hilarious sequel to Boy Meets Hamster.
It’s October half-term, and Dylan Kershaw’s dreams of a reunion with Leo, the gorgeous boy he met over the summer, are dashed when his sports-mad dad whisks him off to football camp in Manchester instead. What’s worse, dancer Leo seems to be too busy practicing his pirouettes to care. At least Dylan’s best friend Kayla is along for the trip, on a quest to win exclusive tickets to see her favourite band, the Deathsplash Nightmares.
It all looks set to be a tedious trip, until Dylan's long-time crush Freddie Alton shows up at football camp and Kayla discovers that the Nightmares are staying in the very same hotel as they are . . .
'A fresh, modern, LGBTQ+ YA novel about a tale as old as time - that first gay crush' – Justin Myers, author of The Last Romeo on Boy Meets Hamster
Before writing her first novel, Birdie Milano dabbled in the theatre, sold books at Waterstones, ran drama classes for children, and dispensed romantic advice to internet daters. She studied at two universities cunningly disguised as stately homes, taking a BA in Creative and Professional Writing at St Mary's, Twickenham, and an MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa, where she gained first-class degrees in-between looking for secret passageways and dodging peacocks.
Birdie is pro-body positivity and anti-bullying, and believes in kindness above all things. She lives in Surrey, where she writes despite the best interruptive efforts of her pets, Ziggy Starcat and Moppet the Wonder Dog. Boy Meets Ghoul is the sequel to her debut novel Boy Meets Hamster.
