DIRTY
BERTIE: KISS! BY ALAN MACDONALD
CHILDRENS
6+
If you think Valentines is smutty, gooey and generally silly this is a story for you. Dirty Bertie, the boy with nose-pickingly disgusting habits, is being terrorised by the far too affectionate Angela Nicely. As if escaping from her clutches wasn't enough he has to look after a hamster and play a trumpet solo when he's never played before! What more could go wrong? Fiendishly funny this will have you rolling around in fits of laughter.
5/5 Stars
ISLA AND THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER BY STEPHANIE PERKINS
YOUNG
ADULT FICTION
Isla
is in school in Paris and has a huge crush on artist Josh. Will they
find true love? Perkins really knows how to capture that moment of
the first kiss and spark of passion. Whether Isla is finding a hidden
balcony looking over Paris or discovering Josh secretly drawing her,
heart break is never far away. This is a very romantic, clever and
potent read dripping in glamour with a dollop of angst to keep things
spicy.
