Invisible Me
You're definitely not a kid anymore, but your parents still treat you like one. The girls at school are suddenly shaving their legs and wearing make-up. The boys are checking you out and trying to hook up at parties. (Or not checking you out, which is somehow worse!) No-one seems to get you – sometimes not even your best friends...
Olympia has a few good things in her life. These include: her dog, playing cricket; her painting and drawing; and the cute guy in the art supplies store who keeps her daydreaming. But there are a lot of bad things too: her parents seem more concerned with their on-again-off-again relationship than they are with her, and even her best friend Edi seems to be zoning out on her. What does Olympia have to do to get their attention?

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.
