One of the world's biggest boy bands. A secret love. What happens if
the world finds out? A queer YA boy band romance from Sophie Gonzales
and Cale Dietrich, perfect for fans of Only Mostly Devastated and What
If It's Us.
Eighteen-year-olds Ruben Montez and Zach Knight are two members of the
boy-band Saturday, one of the biggest acts in America. Along with their
bandmates, Angel Phan and Jon Braxton, the four are teen heartbreakers
in front of the cameras and best friends backstage. But privately,
cracks are starting to form: their once-easy rapport is straining under
the pressures of fame, and Ruben confides in Zach that he's feeling
smothered by management's pressure to stay in the closet.
On a whirlwind tour through Europe, with both an unrelenting schedule
and minimal supervision, Ruben and Zach come to rely on each other more
and more, and their already close friendship evolves into a romance.
But when they decide they're ready to tell their fans and live freely,
Zach and Ruben start to truly realize that they will never have the
support of their management. How can they hold tight to each other when
the whole world seems to want to come between them?

Witty, intelligent Elizabeth Bennet has no desire for a marriage of
convenience. And when she meets the handsome, wealthy Mr Darcy, her
opinion of him is quickly set: he is aloof, selfish and proud - the
last man in the world she would ever marry. Until their paths cross
again, and again, and the pair begin to realise that first
impressions can be flawed... But as Elizabeth and Darcy become
entangled in a dance through the strict hierarchies of society,
will there be space for true love to bloom? Bestselling and YA Book
Prize shortlisted author Laura Wood brings Elizabeth Bennet and Mr
Darcy's romance to life once more in a stunning and truly
accessible retelling of Austen's beloved classic.
The exhilarating highs and messy lows that encapsulate the end of high
school come together in this immersive YA romance debut. With only one
month of high school left, will Mina and Caplan risk their friendship
for love, or stay just friends..?
Mina has a stern face, long braid, and an attitude that has only got
worse since her dad died.
Caplan is the golden boy, complete with a vast social circle and an
on-again/off-again girlfriend who hates Mina's guts.
They're neighbours and somehow, despite all their differences, have
always understood each other the most. But then in the last few weeks
of high school, everything turns on its head. It's a shock when
Caplan's best-friend Quinn confesses he wants to take Mina to the prom.
It's an even bigger shock when she says yes.
With the social hierarchy out the window and everybody on the brink of
a new beginning, Mina finds herself opening up in ways she was too
anxious to before. It turns out, everyone thinks she's pretty cool. But
just because Mina's relationship with the world is changing, it doesn't
mean anything has to change between her and Caplan's relationship. . .

Fans of Clare Balding and Jacqueline Wilson will love this fun and
heartwarming new adventure series for animal-mad 8-12 year olds
from superstar equestrian influencer Esme Higgs! Summer has always
loved horses but she never thought she'd be able to learn how to
ride them - not with money being so tight at home. Then she
discovers the Starlight Stables where she meets a new gang of
friends and learns how to ride in return for helping-out with the
horses. It's a dream come true! Summer falls in love with life at
the stables and especially with Luna, a beautiful dapple-grey pony.
But one day, Summer arrives at the stables to find that Luna has
been stolen in the night. It's up to the Starlight Stables Gang to
follow the clues and rescue Luna before it's too late! Full of fun,
friendship and and mystery, this is the first book in the brand-new
Starlight Stables Gang series. Beautifully illustrated by Hannah
George.
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.'
