Becky Albertalli meets Jenny Han in a smart, hilarious,
black girl magic, own voices rom-com by fantastic debut talent,
Leah Johnson.
Liz has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward
to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed town. But Liz
has an escape plan to attend an uber-elite college, play in their
world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor. But when the financial
aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans
come crashing down . . . until she's reminded of her school's
scholarship for prom king and queen.
There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of
social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events,
but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing
to do whatever it takes to get to college. The only thing that
makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. She's
smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. But Mack
is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the competition
keep Liz from her dreams . . . or make them come true?
Before he wrote 'A Series of Unfortunate Events', before the Baudelaires became orphans, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket asked all the wrong questions. Four to be exact. This is the account of the second question.
In the fading town of Stain’d-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing girl.
Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business?
In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent. You’ll laugh only if you find humour in gothic and mysterious things involving detectives and crime solving.
Lemony’s other literary outings in ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ have sold 60 million copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey and a Netflix series starring Neil Patrick Harris. These regrettable developments mean that millions of fans have found out about the dreadful plight of the Baudelaire orphans, but you do not have to. You have been warned.
Have you read all four mysterious titles in the Wrong Questions series?
‘Who Could That Be at the This Hour?’
‘When Did You See Her Last?’
‘Shouldn’t You Be in School?’
‘Why is This Night Different from All Other Nights?'
Author Lemony Snicket was born before you were and is likely to die before you as well. He was born in a small town where the inhabitants were suspicious and prone to riot. He grew up near the sea and currently lives beneath it. Until recently, he was living somewhere else. He is a broken man, wracked with misery and despair as a result of writing 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'. He spends his days wandering the countryside weeping and moaning and his evenings eating hastily-prepared meals.
Artist Seth has portrayed suspicious circumstances and shady characters in much of his work. He is a multi-award-winning cartoonist, author and artist, whose works include Palookaville and Clyde Fans.
