      Nolan (The College Collection Set 1 - for reluctant readers) - Georgina Jonas

      Chapter 1

      Beginnings

      I was born, not so much with a silver spoon in my mouth but, rather, with a cheeky grin on my face.

      It was probably just wind, but they said that I also had a twinkle in my eye, so I reckon that it wasn’t wind at all. It was most definitely a smile.

      I was late. Born at least a week and a half after I was expected.

      The nurse at the hospital, where I was born, used to sing as she carried me down the corridor to my mother to be fed. I’m just wild about Nolan … he’s just wild about me, she sang.

      My mother told me that nobody had ever heard the nurses singing before.

      Me, I was just happy.

      I was a good baby in that I was content to sit and watch what was going on. I just didn’t like to sleep much, but since I was usually cheerful nobody seemed to mind that much.

      Sometimes my mother did get
