Ambrose Bukowski is a twelve-year-old with a talent for mismatching his clothes, for saying the wrong thing at the worst possible time, and for words. In short, he’s a self-described nerd. Making friends is especially hard because he and his overprotective mother, Irene, have had to move so often. And when bullies at his latest school almost kill him by deliberately slipping a peanut into his sandwich to set off his allergy, it's his mother who has the extreme reaction. From now on, Ambrose has to be home-schooled.
Then Ambrose strikes up an unlikely friendship with the landlord's son, Cosmo, an ex-con who's been in prison. They have nothing in common except for Scrabble. But a small deception grows out of control when Ambrose convinces a reluctant Cosmo to take him to a Scrabble club. Could this spell disaster for Ambrose?

Lottie has had enough. She's tired of being sexually harassed, interrupted and dismissed. So for one month, she decides to call out every bit of sexism she sees - no matter the consequences.
With the reluctant help of film-student Will (who's annoyingly cute for an anti-feminist), her project goes viral. But as the backlash intensifies both online and off, Lottie starts to wonder: can one girl really make a difference? And more importantly, will speaking up cost her more than she ever imagined?
""Brings to mind the late, great Louise Rennison... A book to press into the hands of every teenage girl you know."" The Bookseller
Schooldays at St Clare's are never dull for twins Pat and Isabel O'Sullivan in Enid Blyton's much-loved boarding school series.
In book eight, the girls are in the fifth form, about to reach the sixth, but they are not too old for tricks and escapades, jokes and excitement. Especially amusing is French girl Antoinette who, like her sister Claudine, doesn't always understand the ways of St. Clare's.
Expect more mischief at St Clare's!
Between 1941 and 1946, Enid Blyton wrote six novels set at St Clare's. This edition features the original text and is unillustrated.
