of their comfort zone. The twins have attended the school across
the road since they were toddlers. All their friends are there, and
their dad is best friends with the headmaster. The new school is
far from their house, the extramural activities that are on offer
are unfamiliar and the ones that Rorisang used to excel at in her
old school is dominated by kids far better than her. Luckily

long trips in the car with her pest of a brother! A heartwarming

Christmas, and the snow is falling in Cambridge, where the
detective duo Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are spending the festive
period. But Hazel's hopes of relaxing amongst the beautiful spires,
cosy libraries and inviting tea-rooms are dashed by the danger
lurking in the dark stairwells of Maudlin College. Two days before
Christmas, there is a terrible accident. At least, it appears to be
an accident - until the Detective Society look a little closer, and
realise a murder has taken place. Faced with several irritating
grown-ups and fierce competition from a rival agency, they must use
all their cunning and courage to find the killer (in time for
Christmas Day, of course). 'A superb puzzle . . . Splendidly
seasonal' Metro 'Fabulous' The Times

cry... they get even. Postcard perfect Jar Island is home to
charming tourist shops, pristine beaches, amazing ocean front homes
and three girls quietly plotting revenge. Kat is tired of having
people lie to her. One more cruel word from her ex best friend or
her secret hook up acting like she doesn't exist will be the last
straw. Those two deserve to feel as awful as they've made her feel.
But if she tried anything, everyone would suspect her
immediately... Lillia is ready to stop pretending her senior year
is going to be so great. After what her best friend Rennie got her
into this past summer and the way her guy friends are looking at
her little sister, she is starting to feel like these "friends" are
nothing but the entitled brats she has always denied they were.
Mary has just gotten back to Jar Island after a traumatic event
several years ago that still haunts her. She is determined to put
it behind her, but when she sees Reeve, she is certain that will
only happen when he feels the same pain that his actions caused
her. But she can't get revenge alone... Maybe someone should show
them there are consequences to bad behaviour. Jenny Han's New York
Times bestseller To All the Boys I've Loved Before was made into a
Netflix movie.
