Dawn O’Porter’s Paper Aeroplanes duology follows two girls, Renee and Flo, who form an unexpected friendship at school in Guernsey during the 1990s. Paper Airplanes (2013) introduces their bond, and Goose (2014) continues their story as they deal with family problems, first relationships, and the ordinary difficulties of being a teenager.
The Channel Islands setting gives the books a distinctive feel, and O’Porter draws on her own experience growing up in Guernsey. The 1990s period detail is specific without being heavy-handed, and the friendship at the center of both books feels honest rather than idealized.
