From beloved Saturday Night Live alum Kate McKinnon comes a madcap new
adventure about three sisters, a ravenous worm, and a mysterious mad
scientist.
So, you want to be a young mad scientist. Congratulations! Admitting it
is the first step. The second step is reading the (definitely true)
tale of the Porch sisters…
Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch do not belong. They don’t belong
in the snooty town of Antiquarium, where all girls have to go to
etiquette school and the only dog allowed is the bichon frise. They
don’t belong with their adoptive family, where all their cousins are
named Lavinia and their Aunt has more brooches than books. And they
certainly don’t belong at Mrs. Wintermacher’s etiquette school—they’re
far more interested in science. After getting kicked out of the last
etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent away
for good... until they receive a mysterious invitation to new school.
Suddenly the girls are under the tutelage of the infamous Millicent
Quibb—a mad scientist with worms in her hair and oysters in her
bathtub. At 231 Mysterium Way, the pizza is fatal, the bus is powered
by Gerbils, and the Dean of Students is a hermit crab. Dangerous?
Yes! More fun than they’ve ever had? Absolutely! But when the sisters
are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of nefarious mad
scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand
out, and determine what side they’re on—before it’s too late!

Crazy Rich Asians meets Gossip Girl by way of Jenny Han in this
knock-out sequel, about a Korean American teen who is thrust into
the competitive, technicolor world of K-pop, from Jessica Jung,
K-pop legend and former lead singer of one of the most influential
K-pop girl groups of all time, Girls Generation. Couture gowns,
press parties, international travel. Rachel Kim is at the top of
her game. Girls Forever is now the number-one K-pop group in the
world, and her fame skyrockets after her viral airport styling
attracts the attention of fashion's biggest names. Her life's a
swirl of technicolour glamour and adoring fans. Rachel can't
imagine shining any brighter. The only thing that's missing is
love-but Rachel's determined to follow the rules. In her world,
falling in love can cost you everything. Enter Alex. When Rachel
literally falls head over designer heels into his lap on a crowded
metro, she's tempted to give up her anti-love vows. Alex is more
than just heart-stopping dimples and adorably quirky banter. He
believes in Rachel's future-both in music and in fashion. But the
higher you rise, the harder you fall. And when a shocking act of
betrayal shatters her world, Rachel must finally listen to her
heart.
Agatha Parrot is the most exciting and hilarious comedy series
since Mr Gum! But don't take our word for it . . . take hers! Hiya!
This book is about Odd Street School where I go along with mad Ivy
who always jumps down stairs four at a time WAHOO! And Martha who
is big and jolly and can sort out boys. The oddest teacher we've
got is Miss Barking who wears goggles and gloves to use a pencil
sharpener. The story is about when she tried to execute Martha with
a floppy cardboard axe, but instead Martha's head floated off and
exploded ha ha brilliant! Don't worry. Martha ends up eating an ice
cream... but if you want to know how, then you'll have to read the
insides, won't you? WOW how exciting - da-da-darrrrrrh! As well as
stories you'll get the full gory guide to school life, such as Miss
Barking's daft plan to hold a sports day without any winners, how
to make the most of just having one line in the school play, the
secret teacher beauty competition and how to cure a highly
infectious outbreak of invisible spots. Hope you like it, and
thanks for reading this BLURB! Written by the hottest new prospect
in children's books, Kjartan Poskitt, and illustrated by the
artistic genius behind Andy Stanton's Mr Gum, David Tazzyman,
Agatha Parrot is more brilliant than you could possibly imagine.
Seriously - Try to imagine it. Nope, not even close. Anyway, it's
the funnest of funny children's books.
