It's the night before Rose's mum re-marries. Rose can't sleep for
worrying and nor can her muddled Great-Aunt Cosy, her namesake.
Rose sees the old lady leaving the house and runs after her to the
London underground. Their empty train stops in 1940, in a war-torn
London broken by the Blitz. Here, Rose witnesses great romance
and impending sacrifice. Tragedy will surely follow - unless she
can change what happens next ...
Can true love conquer all this time round – or will The Cupid Company fail its most important challenge ever…?
When Coral hears that her best-friend-forever is moving away from Sunday Harbour, she's devastated. There's only one thing for it: her matchmaking agency, The Cupid Company, will have to help Nicks' mum find true love. Then there's no way she'll leave!
The trouble is, the friends can't agree on the perfect match for Nicks' mum. Coral thinks that Mr Scott, their headmaster, is definitely The One. But Nicks isn't so sure that she wants her mum to fall in love with her headmaster. That would just be too weird.
Notebooks of a Middle-School Princess is the first in a funny, heart-warming illustrated Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot.
Olivia Grace is completely average. Or so she thinks . . . until Her Royal Highness, Princess Mia Thermopolis turns up at her school one day and whisks Olivia away to New York City! In a limo, no less! Where you can eat all the cookies you want and the ceiling lights up pink and purple – like a disco! But discovering that your father is actually the Prince of Genovia is quite a shock. Especially since it means you're a descendant of the Kingdom of Genovia, and a princess. Olivia's got a lot to learn about her long-lost family – and everyone's got a lot to learn about her!
Olivia chronicles her transformation from ordinary girl to princess in her notebook, with illustrations from author Meg Cabot, who studied Fine Arts as an undergraduate.

A remarkable tale of confusion and betrayal - and a very special girl called Sophie.
'Some stories are hard to tell.
Even to your very best friend.
And some words are hard to get out of your mouth. Because they spell out secrets that are too huge to be spoken out loud.
But if you bottle them up, you might burst.
So here's my story. Told the only way I dare tell it.'
Sophie Nieuwenleven is sort of English and sort of Belgian. Sophie and her family came to live in Belgium when she was only four or five years old, but she's fourteen now and has never been quite sure why they left England in the first place. Then, one day, Sophie makes a startling discovery. Finally Sophie can unlock the mystery of who she really is. This is a story about identity and confusion - and feeling so utterly freaked out that you just can't put it into words. But it's also about hope. And the belief that, somehow, everything will work out OK.
SOPHIE SOMEONE is a tale of well-intentioned but stupid parenting, shock, acceptance and, ultimately, forgiveness, written in a brave, memorable and unique language all of its own.
