From bestselling author Beth Garrod comes a fantastically funny
wish fulfilment story. Perfect for fans of The Extremely
Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks and The Amazing Edie Eckhart.
Secondary school is ninety-eight days away, which means I'm running
out of time to break free from my totally embarrassing nickname
Breaking News Nelly . . . Why did it have to be me who tripped
playing netball and smashed a TV camera during the live report on
our new sports hall opening?! I desperately need a relaunch, but
it's hard when you have the worst luck in the world! At least I
have my best friends Clara and Jas. Even though nothing ever seems
to go right for us, we've always been in it together. Like the time
we wrote down our ultimate wishes but knew they wouldn't come true
. . . until they did! Now more and more of our wishes are being
granted, and we're having the best time ever! Maybe my fortunes
have changed and I have the chance to ditch my old identity and
become Totally Cool Nelly. Surely absolutely nothing is about to go
wrong . . .? Praise for Sister Switch: 'Hilarious!' Jenny
Valentine, author of A Girl Called Joy 'Blistering funny, this book
is a joyous, sunny, heart-warming treat!' Simon James Green, author

Pounder, author of the Bad Mermaid series 'Beth Garrod is the queen
of capturing those funny-awful-awkward teen moments and she creates
such warm, loveable and relatable characters!' Perdita Cargill,

What if you meet the boy of your dreams but loving him is
forbidden? Aisha Rashid has always felt invisible, so no one is
more surprised than her when Darren, the hot new boy in school,
takes an interest. But Aisha is a devout Muslim and Darren is
firmly off limits. Will she follow her heart even if it means
losing her own identity? If only there was a way to keep the boy
and her faith. Maybe there is... all it takes is ten steps...

Dad is driving a giant toilet on wheels. His cat has probably been
abducted by aliens. A bully is making his first day at a new school
miserable. And right now, he's hanging off the edge of a

highly-illustrated series for fans of the globally bestselling
Treehouse series.
When puzzle-loving Kip Bramley receives a cryptic invitation,
delivered by a beetle-shaped drone that appears to be breathing, he
has no idea that his world is about to change forever. Very soon he
finds himself at Quicksmiths College of Strange Energy, hunting for
riddles set 400 years earlier by a mysterious genius. But this
isn't any ordinary treasure hunt: as the clock counts down, Kip
will need all the help he can get from his loyal new friends and
his faithful pet flying squirrel, Pinky. With danger mounting it
seems much more is at stake for Kip and his family than he could
ever have imagined.

An Alien Stole My Planet is the laugh-out-loud, wacky adventure by
Pooja Puri brilliantly illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, the third
in the A Dinosaur Ate My Sister series. Before you start reading,
there are a few things you should know: 1. I, Esha Verma, am a
genius inventor extraordinaire. 2. I like lists. 3. I did not mean
to open up an inter-galactic portal. Some things just can't be
helped. Esha Verma, her snotty apprentice Broccoli and his secretly
cunning pet tortoise are on their third wacky adventure - this time
it's an inter-galactic mission through outer-space to stop an alien
abducting their planet! When Esha invents the Invis-Whiz, a device
designed to make the user invisible, she does not expect it to open
a portal to outer space. Esha and her friends are immediately
kidnapped by an alien called Goospa who wants to present the planet
Earth as a golden wedding anniversary gift to his parents. Esha,
Broccoli and Archibald the tortoise have to race back to Earth
before Goospa can complete his teleportation of the planet, and
stop his evil plan once and for all!
The perfect coming-of-age summer romance by the most spectacularly
funny and original debut UKYA voice. My name is Ellie. Ellie Pillai
. . . And I suppose I am a little bit weird, but then, aren't we
all, just a little bit? Most days, Ellie Pillai is somewhere
between invisible, and not very cool - and usually she's okay with
that. But suddenly, Ellie feels different. Maybe it's the new boy
at school who makes her brain explode into rainbows every time she
sees him (and also happens to be going out with her best friend),
or maybe it's her new drama teacher, the one who seems to have
noticed she exists. Suddenly, her misfit style, her skin colour,
her songwriting and all that getting lost in the music in her head
seem to be okay too. Because maybe standing out isn't a bad thing
after all. 'I adored this.' Simon James Green, author of Alex in
Wonderland 'A feel good coming-of-age gem.' Observer, Book of the
Year 'I loved the fresh and original voice.' Bookseller, Highlights
of the Season 'A hilarious and heart-warming story.' Aisha Bushby,
author of A Pocketful of Stars 'Warm, funny and hopeful.' A M
Dassu, author of Boy, Everywhere 'A fresh, funny, feel-good story.'
