Fun, feel-good chick lit for girls. This is the perfect warm, laid-back summer read from a talented new American author. More juicy than fine, more sexy than delicate, Murphy's good fun - but she's no angel. At school, Leeda is treated like a queen. She's loved by just about everyone - except her mom. Living in an orchard and being homeschooled, Birdie has the social prowess of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's the summer holidays and three girls meet picking peaches - but they REALLY don't get on; Murphy's too cool, Leeda's too posh and Birdie's so shy she can't even speak to guys, especially good-looking ones. Then when Leeda's boyfriend Rex turns up and Enrico the Mexican takes a shine to Birdie, the girls find plenty to talk about - and their summer really starts to hot up...

Quiet, quirky May Bird discovers a ghostly dimension in this otherworldly adventure from "New York Times "bestselling author Jodi Lynn Anderson.
Meet May Bird: a very shy, very precocious young girl who wants nothing more than to live in a world where she's accepted and loved. One day while walking in the woods she finds that world--or falls into it, really. Through a pond, May enters the Ever After, a world of ghosts.
Here, towns glow blue beneath zipping stars and the people--are they really people?--walk through walls. Here, the Book of the Dead holds the answers to everything in the universe. And here, if May is discovered, the horrifyingly evil Bo Cleevil will turn her into nothing. May Bird must get out. Fast.
As May journeys through fantastic lands, she gathers an unusual group of new friends who join together to overcome Bo Cleevil and find the way back home.

In this stunning re-imagining of J. M. Barrie's beloved classic Peter Pan, New York Times bestselling author Jodi Lynn Anderson expertly weaves a gripping tale of love, loss, and adventure.

Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair... Tiger Lily. When fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan deep in the forbidden woods of Neverland, the two form a bond that's impossible to break, but also impossible to hold on to. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. However, when Wendy Darling, a girl who is everything Tiger Lily is not, arrives on the island, Tiger Lily discovers how far she is willing to go to keep Peter with her, and in Neverland.

Told from the perspective of tiny, fairy-sized Tinkerbell, Tiger Lily is the breathtaking story of budding romance, letting go and the pains of growing up.

To reach it, the Lockwoods will have to learn to believe in each other and to trust that the world holds more possibilities than they've ever imagined.
