A Thousand Perfect Notes

Beck hates his life. He hates his violent mother. He hates his home. Most of all he hates the piano that his mother forces him to play, hour after hour, day after day. He will never play as she did before illness ended her career and left her bitter and broken. But Beck is too scared to stand up to his mother and tell her his true passion, which is composing his own music – because the least suggestion of rebellion on his part leads to violence on hers.

When Beck meets August, a girl full of life, energy and laughter, love begins to awaken within him and he glimpses a way of escaping his painful existence. But dare he reach for it?

Bookshop Girl

Bennett’s Bookshop has always been a haven for 16-year old Paige Turner. It’s a place where she can escape from her dreary home town, hang out with her best friend Holly, and also earn some money. But, like so many bookshops, it’s become a casualty of the high street – it’s strapped for cash and is going to be torn down. Paige is determined to save it, but mobilising a small town like Greysworth is no mean feat. Time is ticking – and that’s not the only problem that Paige has. How is she going to fend off the attractions of beautiful fellow-artist Blaine? And, more importantly, will his anarchist tendencies make or break her bookshop campaign?

Remember Me

Wick had thought her troubles were over.

But she should’ve known better.

Not only is she embroiled in a new murder case, which starts with a body with “Remember Me” carved into it and doesn’t stop there, but she also discovers new evidence surrounding her mother’s suicide…which leads her right back to her imprisoned deadbeat dad. And she has to deal with her flirty new hacker friend, Milo, sniffing around—which her boyfriend, Griff, isn’t too happy about.

The pressure might be too much as secrets—including Wick’s own—climb to the surface.

The Pages Between Us

Olivia and Piper are two best friends who have always shared classes together, never needing to branch out and make other friends. But now they’re in middle school and despite having seven classes a day, they somehow only coincide for 52 little minutes! How can they survive?
When Piper finds the sparkly notebook in Target, an idea takes shape. How about the girls use the notebook (including flyers, brochures, receipts, scripts etc) to write to each other every day between classes – sharing all the ups and downs of their middle-school experience? Because now it’s time to break out of their shells and make new friends – even if that means venturing into a host of scary-sounding after-school clubs. LARPing, chess, Extreme Lego – they could all be amazing, right? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Maybe?

With the notebook as the lifeline between them, the pages Olivia and Piper share – both hilarious and heartbreaking – will either bring them together . . . or tear them apart.
