THERE’S A REASON THE NUMBER THIRTEEN IS BAD LUCK: IT SUCKS TO BE THIRTEEN.
You’re definitely not a kid anymore, but your parents still treat you like one. The girls at school are shaving their legs and wearing make-up. Boys are potentially more than just friends. No-one seems to get you - sometimes not even your best friends.
No-one escapes thirteen unscathed. The best you can do is be true to yourself, even when everything is changing.
Girl V The World is a funny, heart-warming, age-appropriate series for the ‘forgotten’ girls - the girls who have been pushed from early fiction right up to paranormal romance. They might be at the right reading level for YA, but not the right maturity level just yet! This series tackles topics that can be tricky to talk about with parents, teachers and sometimes even friends.
From a girl’s first kiss to a first period, bullying and generally just fitting in, Girl V The World handles being thirteen without a hint of judgement.
Because you’ve got to be strong to take it on!

SAM KINNISON IS A GEEK, AND HE’S TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT.
He has his horror movies, his nerdy friends, World of Warcraft – and until Princess Leia turns up in his bedroom, worry about girls he won’t.
Then Camilla Carter turns up instead. She’s beautiful, friendly and completely irrelevant to his plan. Sam is determined to ignore her, except that Camilla has a plan of her own – and he seems to be part of it.
Sam believes that everything he needs to know he can learn from the movies. But perhaps he’s been watching the wrong ones.
Life in Outer Space is Melissa Keil’s brilliantly sweet and funny debut YA novel. It’s also the first book ever to be signed up through the Ampersand Project, Hardie Grant Egmont’s initiative for emerging YA writers.
YA FICTION
