Book Description

7 July 2011

Passion, the Yorkshire moors, a wild and handsome stranger . . . sound familiar?

When Robert arrives in town with his dark good looks and mysterious background, Emily has a huge crush! It's almost enough to take her mind off this year's school play . . . miserable, wailing Wuthering Heights.

But Robert is no prince, with his black moods and fierce temper. The beautiful untamed moors would be the perfect backdrop to their fiery romance, if only Emily could work it out.

On stage or off stage, will Emily ever be the Cathy to his Heathcliff?

Review

"Kay Woodward is one of the funniest British authors out there." (Wondrous Reads )

"Shuffle along Jacqueline Wilson, this author knows what teens actually do these days." (ComaCalm's Corner )

"Perfect summer holiday reading - a sweet, dramatic and funny re-telling of Wuthering Heights." (Luisa Plaja Chicklish )

"The intended audience is 12+, and I'm way past that, but I was still hooked. It's a good read, a must-read for Brontëites, and could work as an easy introduction into Emily Brontë's original." (The Squeee )

"A very fun read that will appeal to younger teenagers . . . quirky and humorous." (Daisy Chain Book Reviews )

Book Description

A humorous spin on Emily Bronte's classic

4.0 out of 5 stars Wuthering Hearts 1 Aug 2011
By Vicki @ Cosy Books TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Could a book be any cuter than Kay Woodward's Wuthering Hearts? I doubt it very much. This is the second book I've read from this author and once again I was left with a huge smile and warm fuzzy feeling inside by the end.

Like Jane Airhead before it, Wuthering Hearts takes a well known classic and makes it interesting, something you'd want to read. I can see many young people checking out the Brontës after reading these books. Wuthering Hearts isn't a retelling, but features as the school play and focus of the whole story.

Kay Woodward has a unique style of humour and wit to her writing, with some genuinely laugh out loud moments. She also captures early teenhood perfectly, with all it's worries and anxieties. Emily is such a lovely character: kind, fun with a tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time now and then. She's such a relatable character, so normal and someone you'd really want to be friends with at school. I really liked the budding romance in this book between Emily and the mood swinging Robert, who definitely got my sympathy when the reason for his grumpiness was revealed. It's sweet and tender, completely appropriate for pre-early teen readers who I know will adore this book.

Wuthering Hearts is a feel good, heart warming, gentle romcom and I loved it. I'd recommend this book for readers age 10-14 who will find Emily extremely relatable, the writing funny and the romance adorable. Or for those young at heart, who remember their first crush and the awkwardness which comes with a budding romance, and want a book that will leave them with a huge smile on their face.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wuthering Hearts 12 July 2011
By Jenny, Wondrous Reads TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
It feels like I waited AGES for a new Kay Woodward book. I thoroughly enjoyed her teen debut, Jane Airhead, and Wuthering Hearts was well worth the wait. It's a fast, fun, romantic read with humorous characters and one or two embarrassing situations. Oh, to be a teenager again!

Set in the moors of Yorkshire, England, Wuthering Hearts follows the life of Emily. She's crushing on an attractive new boy, reading Wuthering Heights and trying to act it out in her school play. Sound like a recipe for disaster? It very nearly is!

I think Kay Woodward is one of the funniest British authors out there. Her writing is witty and her humour blunt, not to mention quite northern in this book. Being from up north myself, I appreciated the laughs and references. I think we need more books set outside London - I'm sure there are many stories to be told about the rest of the UK!

Wuthering Hearts is a charming book about romance, friendship and Cathy and Heathcliff. It's short and sweet, but by 'eck will it make you laugh. There's nothing like a deserted Yorkshire moor to inspire an angsty teenage love story, and that's exactly what you'll get here!

3.5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Wuthering Hearts 30 Sep 2011
By Anne
Format:Paperback
I thoroughly enjoyed Wuthering Hearts. Kay Woodward has written a great book which, although fiction, was very believable, very real, and has had the unexpected (to me) effect of making me want to reread Emily Brontë's novel.
