Embark on this collection of 4 relatable, touching and teen-tastic books written by the iconic Jaqueline Wilson. Girls In Love: Ellie, Nadine and Magda are three best friends who couldn't be more different - Ellie is artistic, Nadine is goth, and Magda is all glitz and glam - but they love each other all the same. They're just starting Year Nine, and being a teenager certainly isn't easy. Girls Under Pressure: Magda is tall and glamorous, Nadine is willowy and 'gothic'. And Ellie . . . well, Ellie is just plain normal. The three girls have been best friends forever, but now Ellie is convinced she's fat, Nadine wants to be a model, and Magda worries that her appearance is giving guys the wrong idea. Girls Out Late: Ellie has a boyfriend! And he's really, truly interested in her - not in her best friends, Magda and Nadine! She and oh-so-gorgeous Russell have so much in common - Ellie knows they're made for each other. If only Dad thought so too . . . While Ellie tries her best to cope with Dad's totally unreasonable curfew, Magda's dealing with her crush on a teacher - and Nadine's falling for slimy Liam again. Girls In Tears: The girls are back – but they're not very happy! Ellie's glorious romance with Russell is teetering on the rocks. Magda's lost her pet and is desperately upset (though the others didn't even know she had a hamster!). And Nadine is fed up with the other two lecturing her about the dangers of meeting someone from the internet IRL – she thinks the guy she's chatting to online is wonderful… Titles in this collection: • Girls in Love • Girls Under Pressure • Girls Out Late • Girls in Tears Product Information: • ISBN: 9780552579254 • Author: Jaqueline Wilson • Publisher: Corgi Childrens Ltd • Format: Boxset

The perfect lighthearted summer read for 11 - 14 year olds. 'Geek Girl with a supernatural twist' - The Observer Meet Mo Merrydrew - independent young woman, Mini Battenberg fan, president of the debating society - and reluctant vampire queen ... Fifteen-year-old Mo Merrydrew isn't exactly expecting to be asked to be Vampire Queen of Great Britain when she's cycling home from school one wet Tuesday evening.

But - if you're Vampire Queen, you probably don't have to do PE any more, and when the dreamy Luca, a vampire familiar, turns up, it all suddenly starts to look a bit more appealing ...
