'Part sequel, part reimagining, and wholly delightful' Jodi Picoult'An absolute delight. Funny, moving and filled with heart' Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious ThingsIt is a truism, frequently invoked by the members of the Meryton Women’s Guild, that one is only ever as happy as one’s unhappiest child. So, with five daughters and four grandchildren, it was a miracle Mrs Hester Bennet ever raised a smile. At best, she was only ever tentatively pleased, and even then understood that her contentment rested on the edge of a gaping precipice into which she would inevitably tumble the second Kitty or Lydia (it was almost always those two) messaged in the clutches of yet another existential crisis…Lydia, home from Paris on New Year’s Day in a welter of hangover and humiliation, finds herself swearing off drink, drugs and sex for the next 12 months. Through her unfamiliar sobriety, she’ll see a landmark year for all the Bennet sisters, including a disruptive 40th birthday, an engagement and a funeral: and, maybe, coming to terms with the results of a run-of-the-mill run-in with a jackknifed lorry on a wet stretch of the M1…A sharply funny and unexpectedly tender modern sequel to Pride & Prejudice, this is a story of sisterhood, survival, and second chances. For fans of Marian Keyes, Dolly Alderton, and anyone who's ever wondered what the Bennet sisters would be like in the age of therapy, WhatsApp, and wellness trends gone rogue.

A unique story of hope that'll make you laugh and cry in equal measure, from the acclaimed author of No Man's Land and Joe All Alone. You think it will be silent when it rises. But it comes in athunder and rush,a clatter and clanking ofcars smashing on lampposts andthe sides of fried chicken shops,of things in the water thatshould be on land. When the unthinkable happens to the planet, two ragtag groups of kids on opposite sides of England beat the odds and escape death. But they soon realise that the only way to be truly safe is to seek a place they've only heard about in stories. As their treacherous journeys unfold, can they help each other survive - even when the world is ending around them?

A 4. b a világ LEGROSSZABB osztálya. Legalábbis Bottomley-Blunt diri néni szerint. Pedig nem is akarták KONKRÉTAN szabadon engedni a botsáskákat az iskolaudvaron, és KONKRÉTAN felfordulást sem akartak csinálni a múzeumban, ahol még múmiamacska is van. Ezek a dolgok csak úgy megtörténtek. Szerencsére BOMBABIZTOS tervük azért volt rá, hogyan úszhatnak meg mindent.

Nové prerozprávanie slávneho románu Jane Austenovej s úsmevnými ilustráciami Henry Dashwood síce miloval všetky svoje deti rovnako, spoločenské pravidlá však nemali pre delenie lásky (a majetku) v rovnakom pomere pochopenie. Po smrti otca musia jeho dcéry, sestry Elinor a Marianne Dashwoodové, opustiť rodičovské sídlo a presťahovať sa do vzdialeného domčeka. Zdá sa, že ich životy už nebudú také, ako predtým... Odchod donúti Elinor opustiť milovaného muža a Marianne sa zaľúbi do šarmantného, no absolútne neprijateľného cudzinca. Na kľukatej ceste k šťastiu sa sestry navzájom podporujú, nájdu však rovnováhu medzi rozumom a citom? Katherine Woodfine je od mladosti veľkou fanúšičkou Jane Austenovej, preto má výborné predpoklady na to, aby sestry Dashwoodové priblížila novému mladšiemu publiku. Églantine Ceulemans zachytáva Austenovej satiru a vtip a oživuje živelnosť jej prepracovaných postáv vo vtipných čiernobielych ilustráciách.

A laugh-out-loud young fiction series from bestselling author Joanna Nadin, perfect for fans of Horrid Henry. Best friends Stanley and Manjit are part of Class 4B, which head teacher Mrs Bottomley-Blunt says is the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD. She says school is not about footling or fiddle-faddling or FUN. It is about LEARNING and it is high time 4B tried harder to EXCEL at it. But they didn't LITERALLY mean to let the class stick insects loose in the wilds of the playground. And they really didn't LITERALLY mean to make a massive mess trying to do modern art (which may or may not have involved a mummified cat being stolen). These things just happened, even though they had FOOLPROOF plans to get away with it all. Highly illustrated and featuring two hilarious madcap adventures in one book, these stories are just right for children ready for their first chapter books.

Hogy ehhez meg kell szegniük a házirend néhány… vagy inkább jó néhány szabályát? Annyi baj legyen! Vigyázat! Nyomokban tejtől cuppogós cipőt, igazi hörcsögcsontvázat és egy csomó rókázást tartalmaz.

As Edie Jones lies in a bed on the fourteenth floor of a Cambridge hospital, her adult daughter Dido tells their story, starting with the day that changed everything. That was the day Dido - aged exactly six years and twenty-seven days old - met the handsome Tom Trevelyan, his precocious sister, Harry, and their parents, Angela and David. The day Dido fell in love with a family completely different from her own. Because the Trevelyans were exactly the kind of family Dido dreamed of. They were normal.
