SynopsisAlready love Vera's work? Don't miss her first novel Return to Sender ! Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about the "Forever" part . . . Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who's been dead for a century. Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend--even a ghost--is just what she needs. Or so she thinks. Spooky, sardonic, and secretly sincere, Anya's Ghost is a wonderfully entertaining debut graphic novel from author/artist Vera Brosgol. This title has Common Core connections. Anya's Ghost is a 2011 Kirkus Best Teen Books of the Year title. One of School Library Journal 's Best Fiction Books of 2011. One of Horn Book 's Best Fiction Books of 2011. Winner of the 2012 Eisner Award for Best Publication for Young Adults (Ages 12-17), A bargain set of three funny warm accounts of chaotic family life from bestselling author Fiona Gibson.

Her nightmare is the Mums' Race at Sports Day. But when her husband starts paying too much attention to a glamorous colleague, Laura is determined to get the spark back in their marriage. Even if it means joining an exercise club ... In The Great Escape Hannah, Lou and Sadie are determined to leave the trials of parenthood behind and recapture their lost youth on a hen weekend. Trouble is, things don't go according to plan, and while they're away, the men in their lives have some revelations of their own ..., Anya could really use a friend.
