A YA romantic comedy about a movie geek & the dream girl he refuses to fall in love with.
Sam Kinnison is a geek, and he’s totally fine with that. He has his horror movies, his nerdy friends, World of Warcraft – and until Princess Leia turns up in his bedroom, worry about girls he won't. Then Camilla Carter arrives on the scene. She’s beautiful, friendly and completely irrelevant to his plan. Sam is determined to ignore her, except that Camilla has a plan of her own – and he seems to be a part of it! Sam believes that everything he needs to know he can learn from the movies. But perhaps he’s been watching the wrong ones.
Life in Outer Space is Melissa Keil’s first brilliantly sweet and funny YA novel. It was the inaugural winner of the Ampersand Prize, Hardie Grant Children's Publishing award for debut authors.
