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

Nikki Maxwell authors an advice column for the school newspaper in
this fifth book of the "New York Times "bestselling Dork Diaries
series.
Nikki Maxwell develops a sudden interest in student journalism that
may or may not (okay, definitely does) have to do with the fact
that mean girl Mackenzie has started writing a gossip column. And
there just might be some juicy info involving Nikki's crush,
Brandon, that Nikki doesn't want Mackenzie reporting to the world.
So Nikki joins the school newspaper staff--and ends up as an advice
columnist It's fun at first, answering other kids' letters. But
when Miss Know-It-All's inbox is suddenly overflowing with pleas
for guidance, Nikki feels in need of some help herself. Fortunately
she has BFFs Chloe and Zoey on her side--and at her keyboard
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.'
