Let It Snow

The #1 New York Times bestseller is now a major Netflix film starring Kiernan Shipka, Shameik Moore, Odeya Rush and Isabela Moner.

It’s Christmas Eve and the worst blizzard for fifty years has blanketed Gracetown. But as well as snowflakes, love is in the air – and appearing in the most unexpected ways . . .

Who’d have thought a freezing hike from a stranded train would end with a delicious kiss from a charming stranger? Or that a trip to the Waffle House through four feet of snow could lead to romance with an old friend? Or that the path to true love begins with a painfully early morning shift at Starbucks?

Touching, hilarious and filled with festive cheer, the magic of the holiday season shines on these three interconnected tales of love, romance and breathtaking kisses. The perfect book for a cold winter’s night for any fan of The Fault in Their Stars, The Sun is Also a Star and Eleanor and Park.

Holding Up the Universe

Gorgeously written and oh-so-deeply felt – Nicola Yoon, author of Everything Everything and The Sun is Also a Star

From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see (and love) someone for who they truly are.

Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout.
I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything.

Once dubed ‘America’s Fattest Teen’, she is only seen for her weight. Not the girl underneath.

Since her mum’s death she’s been picking up the pieces in private, alone with her heartbroken father.

But now, Libby is ready. She’s ready for high school, for new friends, for love and for every possibility life has to offer.

Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin too.
Be charming. Be hilarious. Don’t get too close to anyone.

Yes, he’s got swagger, but he’s also mastered the art of fitting in.

What no one knows is that Jack has a secret: he can’t recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him.

He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings of his own brain.

When Jack and Libby meet, they discover that the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel.

All the Bright Places

Now a major Netflix film starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith.

A compelling and beautiful story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who’s drawn to death.

Theodore Finch tries to look for good things in the world, even if sometimes he doesn’t always find them.

Violet Markey exists for the future, counting the days until she can escape her Indiana town and its painful memories of her sister.

When they meet on the ledge of a tower, what might have been their end turns into their beginning.

It’s only with Violet that Finch can truly be himself – a funny guy who actually wants to experience the joy in life.

And when Violet’s with Finch, she forgets to wish away the days and starts to live them.

But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink. He’s trying to cling on to his bright places, but will it be enough this time?

The Fault in Our Stars

*The film tie-in edition of John Green’s witty yet heart-breaking tour de force. This edition of the multi-million #1 bestseller contains images from the major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.

“I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.”

But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Sunday Times (Culture)
‘A touching, often fiercely funny novel’

The Sun on Sunday (Fabulous Magazine)
‘So good I think it should be compulsory reading for everyone!’

Daily Express
‘John Green brilliantly captures the voices of a young generation while instilling it with the wisdom of a life that has lived too much yet will never live enough.
Rather than depressing, the book is filled with dark humour and is written with a beautiful simplicity that draws the reader in so deeply that it’s not just the twist and turns but the gently bends and curves that you feel tugging at your emotions… No doubt in the end you will cry but you will also feel that you have discovered a little something about living’

Daily Telegraph
‘The novel, written for teenagers, but proving even more popular with adults’

The Metro – 2013 Best Fiction
The YA crossover hit of the year. The love affair of two terminally ill teenagers could be mawkish. In fact, it’s funny, clever, irreverent and life-affirming.

The Guardian
‘A Smart Book’

Grazia
‘So good!’

Good Housekeeping
‘John Green may write for young adults, but his intelligent sensitive style means The Fault in Our Stars defies categorisation… as funny as it is heartbreaking… we defy you not to fall in love with its main characters, Hazel and Augustus.’

The Tablet
‘A humourous and poignant love story… It’s terrifically funny… as well as a moving exploration of loss and grief. And no, it’s so much not just for teenage cancer sufferers… it’s for everyone.’

Bliss
‘If you need inspiration when it comes to making the most of a moment, this one is for you’

Mizz
‘Exploring the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love, this is a life-affirming tale of two teenagers who are terminally ill. Insightful, bold, irreverent and raw, if this doesn’t make you cry, it’ll definitely make you think, laugh and maybe even fall in love yourself!’

** A thought-provoking love story from the New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns and – with David Levithan – Will Grayson, Will Grayson.

A Wrinkle in Time

Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child.

Meg, Charles and their friend Calvin embark on a cosmic journey helped by the funny and mysterious trio of guardian angels, Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which. Together they must find the weapon that will defeat It.

A groundbreaking and inspiring story of travel through time and space to battle a cosmic evil which has sold millions of copies and transformed children’s literature. Winner of the Newbery Medal.

Charlotte’s Web

Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child.

On foggy mornings, Charlotte’s web was truly a thing of beauty . Even Lurvy, who wasn’t particularly interested in beauty, noticed the web when he came with the pig’s breakfast. And then he took another look and he saw something that made him set his pail down. There, in the centre of the web, neatly woven in block letters, was a message. It said: SOME PIG!

This is the story of a little girl named Fern, who loves a little pig named Wilbur – and of Wilbur’s dear friend, Charlotte, a beautiful large grey spider. When Fern’s uncle decrees that Wilbur must become bacon, Fern, Charlotte, Templeton the rat and all Wilbur’s farmyard friends come up with an ingenious plan to fool the humans, and save their very special pig.

Joyful, funny, and deeply moving, Charlotte’s Web is a story about the power of friendship, and celebrating what makes everyone special. It is rightly heralded as one of the greatest children’s books ever written.

“E. B. White’s writing is perfect… And Garth William’s muted illustrations are entirely without fault. Whether read aloud or solo, this is a book well deserving of its ‘classic’ status.” – The Children’s Book Review

An Abundance of Katherines

From the bestselling author of Turtles All the Way Down and The Fault in Their Stars, a beautiful tale of love, loss and not so fool proof mathematic equations.

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type is girls named Katherine.

And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped.

Nineteen times, to be exact.

On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun – but no Katherines.

Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.

Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.
