A compulsively entertaining historical YA novel that playfully blends dark academia with scandal, murder mystery and queer romance - like If We Were Villains meets Lex Croucher. In Regency England, Cascabel Gray dreams of freedom - and disguises herself as a boy to secure a place at Oxford University. After all, she's as comfortable in breeches as she is in ballgowns. Her plans are upended, however, when she receives a blackmail letter from Charles Lafleur, a member of infamous secret society the Rogues Club, threatening to expose her. But when Lafleur is found dead, the plot thickens... and Cascabel becomes a prime suspect in his murder. She joins the Rogues Club to conduct an investigation of her own, and her life soon begins to spiral out of control. To survive, she must switch between her male and female personas, attracting both fellow student William Grenville and a chambermaid known as Mouse - and even attending a ball with an Austrian prince. Can she find a way to balance her double life and clear her name, before she loses everything? This book combines the genius ingredients of cosy crime, queer romance and dark academia, all wrapped up in a fast-paced, entertaining plot - perfect for fans of Agency for Scandal, Laura Steven and Lex Croucher. A fierce, determined and irresistible protagonist who slips fluidly between two identities and genders as Cascabel and Pom. All the period-drama appeal of a historical Regency setting, with a vibrant, modern sensibility and a sensitive handling of prejudice. Joe's first novel, The Rules of Seeing, won the Romantic Novelist Association's Debut Novel Award. "Utterly absorbing... compellingly blending historical mystery and queer romance." - The Guardian

Twelve-year-old Meddy Gordon has serious anger issues... In this hilarious book for middle-grade readers, Meddy rants about family and friendships, using her diary as a way of letting out her anger and keeping her emotions in check. So far, so normal. You know the kind of thing: frustrations with her self-absorbed sisters; problems with idiotic classmates; disagreements with pompous teachers; and, of course, her troubles dealing with the occasional flock of owls, swarms of snakes, or even the odd many-headed dog. And then there's the small problem of the snake hair that appears if she doesn't control her anger… You see, Meddy Gordon is not actually from the twenty-first century. She is, in fact, a human from ancient Greece and she has made a powerful enemy. Meddy G is MEDUSA and she just happens to have angered Athena, the goddess of war. And what happens when the goddess of war is on the warpath? You get a bad day. A very bad day indeed. Meddy Gorgon is loosly based on the famous Greek myth of Medusa, ideal for young fans of Greek mythology! A highly illustrated book, great for fans of Loki and Lottie Brooks. Funny and fantastic illustrations by Katie Abey who has illustrated over fifty books for children.
