Rich and Mad Paperback

The compelling and beautifully written story of first love, first sex, and everything in between from the writer behind Gladiator and Shadowlands.

Maddy Fisher has decided to fall in love. And not just any sort of love: can't-eat can't-sleep crazy in love.

Rich Ross is after the same thing. He's set his sights high, and he's going to make it happen.

The problem is, in life's messy whirlwind of friends and lies and sex and porn, the real thing can be hard to fine.

But there's always a first time for everything...Handled with the honesty and artistry of a true literary great, Rich and Mad follows two people getting to grips with what it means to be in a 'boy meets girl' situation.

A true book for teens. One of the greatest writers of our time, William Nicholson has not only sold millions of children's books worldwide through his Wind on Fire and Noble Warriors trilogies, he's also written for the screen and the stage, including the Oscar-winning film Gladiator and the BAFTA-winning play Shadowlands.
