Tim Te Maro And The Subterranean Heartsick Blues by H. S. Valley

Tim Te Maro and Elliott Parker – classmates at Fox Glacier High School for the Magically Adept – have never gotten along. But when they both get dumped the day before the big egg-baby assignment, they reluctantly decide to ditch their exes and work together. 

When the two boys start to bond over their magically enchanted egg-baby, they realise that beneath their animosity is something like friendship … or physical attraction. Soon, a no-strings-attached hook-up seems like a good idea. Just for the duration of the assignment. After all, they don’t have feelings for each other … so what could possibly go wrong? 

This was the author’s debut YA, and won them the Ampersand Prize,  “Australia and New Zealand’s premier award for unpublished writers of middle-grade and young adult fiction.” They won, and it was published!
