An official tie-in novel to Channel 4's streetwise teen soap; As if is a ground-breaking series following the everyday lives of a group of London's teenagers, as they grow up in the 21st century's complex times. This is a brilliantly scripted, street-wise teen drama, that is already a major feature of T4 in its first series. The book would tie in to the second series and will be a full-cast novelisation, elaborating on the sometimes comic, sometimes serious, stories from the series, and covering many of the issues faced by teenagers today. This is a British Dawson's Creek: more grungey, more eclectic and more real.
