School Days School is always exciting for Laura Ingalls and her sisters. Laura knows that learning can be fun, and there are so many friends to play with at recess! The Laura Chapter Books are part of an ongoing series of Little House Chapter Books.
Students at Lycroft Phelps are marked for success. As a straight-A
student and girlfriend of the school's star rower, Charlotte
believes in what the school has to offer. Meanwhile, scholarship
student Max is struggling. Until he's asked to join the rowing team
offering him popularity - but at what cost? Then there's Quinn, a
sixth-generation legacy student, who should be able to lay claim to
the school in a way others can't. Who instead must watch the boy
who assaulted her continue to play at the top of the school's food
chain. Only in the dead of night does Q realize the solution to her
suffering: Colin Pearce must die. But Lycroft Phelps has more than
one dark secret at its heart, and as the three students uncover
just how far the school will go to keep those ugly truths hidden,
there's a lot more than reputation at stake... A tense and timely
thriller with a revenge plot that'll have you on the edge of your
seat. Perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow, Chelsea Pitcher and
Louise O'Neill. (Trigger warning: this book contains descriptions
of sexual violence that some readers may find upsetting.)

From million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel comes a
laugh-out-loud story for readers of 8 and up that takes you on a
roller-coaster ride of fame and friendship… Nothing extraordinary
has ever happened to Billy Smith. In fact, every single thing about
him is ordinary, including his name. But when a documentary crew
turns up at Billy’s school to film the new TV series School Daze,
everything changes. Billy shouldn’t stand out: all the other kids
are much more interesting than him. But when remixes of his boring
class presentation go viral, Billy finds himself accidentally an
overnight star. With his friends Bo and Rinor by his side, his life
turns into a whirlwind of red carpets, TV shows, albums and even
the possibility of meeting Sunshine De Marto – the coolest girl
on the planet. But as everyone knows, fame comes with a price…
The Boy Who Got Accidentally Famous is an epically entertaining
tale, brought to life with illustrations by the brilliant Steven
Lenton, which asks the question – what if everyone suddenly knew
your name…?
