Mac Slater: Coolhunter
The first in a new edge-of-your-seat fiction series about the hunt for the coolest things on earth.
Mac's just crashed the latest prototype of his flying bike in front of practically the whole school. So when the creators of Coolhunters approach him and tell him he's an Innovator, Mac thinks they're crazy. I mean, Mac lives in an old bus with his hippie, fire-twirling mum. He doesn't have a TV, let alone a mobile. But Tony and Speed say he's so uncool he's, like, cool.
They offer Mac a trial. He'll vlog all the cool stuff coming out of Kings Bay for a week. If he wins he'll travel the world, uncovering stuff he loves and reporting it via Coolhunters, a massive online space dedicated to the coolest things on earth.
But hunting cool ain't easy. Mac's opponent, Cat DeVrees – angry, cold-blooded and the hottest girl he knows – wants the gig real bad and she'll do just about anything to get it. Cool or uncool? Geeks or revolutionaries? The votes are in.
Please Note: Mac Slater: Coolhunter has also been published under various other titles including Mac Slater Hunts the Cool and The Rules of Cool.

Mac Slater has just crashed the latest prototype of the flying bike he and his best friend Paul invented. Even worse, practically the whole school witnessed it.
So when the creators of massive global webspace Coolhunters offer Mac the chance to compete for a job hunting cool, Mac thinks they're crazy. I mean, Mac lives in a small town and he doesn't have a TV, let alone a mobile. But Tony and Speed say he's so uncool he's cool.
If Mac wants to win, he has one week to prove he has what it takes. And it turns out that finding the next big thing isn't easy – especially when he's pitted against Cat DeVrees, the most popular girl in school.
Does Mac really know what cool is? Or will he crash and burn?
