An entertaining and charming story about an eccentric, loveable
family - 'Endearingly funny' 5-star review, Telegraph Chloe Deal is
observant. Every day she notices small details - like how Front
Door always refuses to open when it's raining; how whatever task he
sets out to do, Daddy usually ends up snoozing to the radio in his
shed; how her younger sister Daisy muddles her similes but never
her fashion sense, and how Mummy's nostrils flare when Dad forgets
to mow the lawn, again. So when Chloe starts a school project about
her house, she ends up cataloguing the chaotic balancing act of her
family along with it. In the run up to the school holidays (and
Chloe's birthday), disaster follows disaster at home and school.
Mummy's patience is beginning to unravel. Can Chloe get the house,
her siblings and her father in shape before it's too late?
One of Us Is Lying meets Big Little Lies in Melissa de la Cruz's
first YA thriller. Four Los Angeles prep students are at the center
of a fatal car crash - and they will go to and the dangerous
lengths to bury the truth. One of them was driving. One of them was
high. One of them screamed. And one of them died. When one of their
own is tragically killed in a car crash, Argyle Prep is full of
questions. Who was at the wheel? And more importantly, who was at
fault? But in a place ruled by pedigree and privilege, the answers
can only come at a price. Set against the glitz and glamour of an
elite LA private school, Melissa de la Cruz's first YA thriller is
an addictive whodunit perfect for fans of Gossip Girl and A Good
Girl's Guide to Murder.
