It's Not Me, It's You
Erin doesn't get what all the fuss is about. When did boys stop being friends and start being boyfriends? Why are all the girls in her year shaving their legs and slopping goop on their faces? And since when did her big sister start keeping secrets about her love life?
It seems like everyone is changing around Erin, and yet she's still the same. Erin's never been afraid of doing her own thing, but she never thought she'd be deliberately left out. How can Erin grow up and just be herself?

There's a reason that the number thirteen is bad luck... Sometimes it sucks to be thirteen!
No-one escapes thirteen unscathed - not even the best-looking, most popular people with the straightest teeth and shiniest hair. The best you can do is be true to yourself, even when everything's changing.
Girl v the World is a funny, inspiring and heartwarming new series about thirteen-year-old girls taking on the world. Because you've got to be strong to take it on.
It's a collection of age-appropriate stories for the 'forgotten' girls - the girls who have been pushed up from middle fiction straight into paranormal romance. The authors address first kisses, friendship dynamics and bullying in an accessible and non-patronising way - which is a refreshing change for this age group, who feel like nobody seems to 'get them' anymore.
