The Breakfast Club meets One Day in Floored, a unique collaborative novel by seven bestselling and award-winning YA authors: Sara Barnard, Holly Bourne, Tanya Byrne, Non Pratt, Melinda Salisbury, Lisa Williamson and Eleanor Wood.
When they got in the lift, they were strangers (though didn't that guy used to be on TV?): Sasha, who is desperately trying to deliver a parcel; Hugo, who knows he's the best-looking guy in the lift and is eyeing up Velvet, who knows what that look means when you hear her name and it doesn't match the way she looks, or the way she talks; Dawson, who was on TV, but isn't as good-looking as he was a few years ago and is desperately hoping no one recognizes him; Kaitlyn, who's losing her sight but won't admit it, and who used to have a poster of Dawson on her bedroom wall, and Joe, who shouldn't be here at all, but who wants to be here the most.
And one more person, who will bring them together again on the same day every year.
Mia's two sisters are pretty much perfect, but Mia's life is a
series of disasters. Fuelled by alcohol and insecurities, she
betrays one of her best friends in the worst way imaginable. But
will her little sister going missing finally make her realise
making everything All About Mia just isn't going to cut it any
more? It's time to grow up and face reality.
The past and the present converge in this enthralling, serpentine
tale of women connected by motherhood, slavery's legacy, and
histories that span centuries. In 1850 in Massachusetts, Whittaker
House stood as a stop on the Underground Railroad. It's where two
freedom seekers, Little Annie and Clementine, hid and perished.
Whittaker House still stands, and Little Annie and Clementine still
linger, their dreams of freedom unfulfilled. Now a fashionably
distressed vacation rental in the Berkshires, Whittaker House draws
seekers of another kind: Black women who only appear to be free.
Among them are Dominique, a single mother following her
grand-mere's stories to Whittaker House in search of an ancestor;
Michelle, Dominique's lover, who has journeyed to the Berkshire
Mountains to heal her own traumas; and Kaye, Michelle's sister, a
seer whose visions reveal the past and future secrets of the former
safehouse-along with her own. For each of them, true liberation can
come only from uncovering their connection to history-and to the
spirits awaiting peace and redemption within the walls of Whittaker
House.
There are three sides to every story . . . It's GCSE results day.
Frankie's best friend, Jojo, is missing. A baby has been stolen.
And more than one person has been lying. Frankie's determined to
find out the truth and her ex-boyfriend Ram is the only person who
can help her. But they're both in for a shock . . . EVERYTHING is
about to change.
