Book Review: WAGs At The World Cup by Alison Kervin

Posted on Monday, May 31st, 2010 by Leah

Who needs Victoria, Coleen and Alex when you can have Tracie Martin? That’s right - Tracie is back and she’s faker, more tanned and as skimpily dressed as ever. Hubbie Dean has managed to get himself a job working with Fabio so Tracie is off to South Africa to have a WAGalicious time. But first, Tracie is given the task of keeping the WAGs under wraps because we know what happened the last time the WAGs came to a World Cup.

As always though things don’t always go to plan as far as Tracie is concerned and she ends up on a popular video sharing website embarrassing herself to the nation. Tracie is shipped off to South Africa quicker than you can say WAG, only to find herself slap bang in the middle of more shenanigans. It’s definitely a case of Tracie Martin to the rescue…

Book Extract: The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

Posted on Monday, May 31st, 2010 by Leah

I recently got to read a book that is probably one of my favourite reads of 2010, Jandy Nelson’s debut novel The Sky Is Everywhere. It’s released in the UK this week and to celebrate, Jandy’s UK publishers Walker are publishing extracts around various blogs. Today is our turn, so have a read and I hope you enjoy it! We’ll be reviewing the book on Wednesday as well as launching a competition where you can win a t-shirt, copy of the book and a notebook so look out for that!

The book is about a girl, Lennie, who after losing her sister Bailey suddenly finds herself thrust into the center of everyone’s world, rather than using her sister as a shield. And despite never really having a boyfriend before, she suddenly finds herself choosing between two - Joe and Toby. A unique aspect of the book is the fact poems are scattered throughout the book, so we have not only an extract but a poem too (click it to enlarge). After reading our extract, head on over to http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/pages/independent-publishers/2003/ tomorrow (Tuesday) for the last extract as well as being able to buy yourself a copy!

Book Cover: The Only Way Is Up by Carole Matthews

Posted on Monday, May 31st, 2010 by Chloe

Carole Matthews’ new book is due out on 16th September 2010, and the cover has been released, so here it is. I can’t say I’m too keen on it myself, it wouldn’t particularly stand out to me as the yellow is a bit drab for me, but as usual though, the story inside sounds great! Here’s the synopsis:

“Lily and Laurence Lamont-Jones have it all: lavish holidays in exotic locations, a top private school for their children, Hettie and Hugo, and a beautiful Buckinghamshire home with horses and stables. But their perfect world is about to be turned upside down. Laurence has lost his job and, on their return from holiday, they find their house and all their belongings have been repossessed. Forced to live in a council house on one of Milton Keynes’s roughest estates, the Lamont-Joneses are about to discover how the other half live. And with the help of true friends, a little luck and a lot of determination they learn that when you’ve reached rock bottom the only way is up…”
