A Polari-Prize-winning author presents an unforgettable story about
a boy facing up to bullying - and his own truths. James loves
dancing, poetry, and Mariah Carey (not in that order, though,
because Mariah would obviously be first!). His teacher, Mr
Hamilton, is getting married to his boyfriend and it seems that
James will be part of a surprise choir performance at the wedding.
But James's father seems uncomfortable about the plan, and a lot of
other things - like any mention of Mr Hamilton, and James's
dancing, and how James talks about his new friend Joel. Meanwhile,
a different boy has been harassing James at school and calling him
gay, and it's getting worse every day. James can find relief with
his beloved Nan, she's been having worrying falls, and James can't
tell anyone, or she might be sent to a faraway care home. The
secrets are building up, and James is starting to lose his
characteristic spark. Can he find the strength to let the truth
out? A joyful, raw and timely novel about family, friends, enemies,
and being true to who you really are. Perfect for fans of Alex
Gino, A.M. Dassu, and The Boy At the Back of the Class. Ian
Eagleton is the author of Nen and the Lonely Fisherman, which was
shortlisted for The Bookseller's Book Of The Year - Discovery

swoony and thoughtful romantic comedy from debut author Priyanka
Taslim. Zahra Khan is basically Bangladeshi royalty - but being a
princess doesn't pay the bills in New Jersey. While Zahra plans to
save money for college by working through the summer at a tea shop,
her meddling mum is convinced that a "good match" in marriage will
solve their family's financial woes. Enter Harun Emon, the wealthy,
devastatingly handsome and . . . aloof boy Zahra is set up with. As
soon as they meet, Zahra and Harun both know it's not going to
work. It's nothing like the connection she has with Nayim Aktar,
the new dishwasher at the tea shop, who just gets her in a way no
one has before. Deciding to slowly sabotage their parents' plans,
Zahra and Harun pretend to date, while Zahra explores her feelings
for Nayim. For once in Zahra's life, she can have her rossomalai
and eat it too. But life - and boys - can be a royal pain. With her
feelings all mixed up, will Zahra be a good Bengali kid or can she
find her one true love match? Perfect for fans of Jenny Han,
Sandhya Menon, Emma Lord and Beth O'Leary.
