Falling for Wonder Boy
Author: Kristine Carlson Asselin
Publisher: Wicked Whale Publishing
Language(s): English
When sixteen-year-old
Kate Anderson signs up for the New Hampshire Junior State Golf
Championship, she has no idea how important it is for her to win. But
when she finds out her family’s beloved golf course is on the verge of
going broke, the pressure is on to bring home the top prize. Because
this year, if she can become the first girl to ever win the tournament,
she’ll earn more than bragging rights and a college scholarship – she’ll
become famous. And with fame comes a gigantic media blitz, and that
type of hype is exactly the prize her family needs to bring back the
crowds and chase away the threats of bank foreclosure.
Unfortunately, golf is a game of focus and Kate’s distractions are mounting by the day: her growing crush on her best friend Scott and dealing with the local bully seem tough enough without the extra distraction of the cute British exchange kid her dad hires for the summer. But when vandals damage the golf course and Scott is accused of the crime, the stakes suddenly become bigger than any tournament. To clear Scott’s name, Kate takes on the responsibility of finding the culprit before the course is vandalized again. Otherwise, winning the tournament won’t even be on the table . . . and neither will a future with Scott.

Falling for Wonder Boy is everything I love about YA contemporary. Swoony romance, complicated-heartfelt-messy-friendships, and the experience of becoming your own person, taking those first brave steps into adulthood. -- Carrie DiRisio, author of Brooding YA Hero: Becoming a Main Character (Almost) as Awesome as Me.
A unique setting, a courageous heroine, and a high-stakes tournament come together in this sweet contemporary romance. -- Kathryn Knight, USA TODAY Bestselling author-
