NOW A MAJOR BBC SERIES'Fresh, original, heartbreaking' Reni Eddo-Lodge'Devastating, hilarious, unlike anything I have ever read. Destined to be a classic' Pandora Sykes'A must-read ... as mesmerising as it is poignant' StylistThirteen-year-old Byron needs to get away, and doesn't care how. Sick of being beaten up by lads for 'talkin' like a poof' after school. Sick of dad - the weightlifting, womanising Gaz - and Mam, who pissed off to Turkey like Shirley Valentine. Sick of all the people in Hucknall who shuffle about like the living dead, going on about kitchens they're too skint to do up and marriages they're too scared to leave.

It's a new millennium, Madonna's 'Music' is top of the charts and there's a whole world to explore - and Byron's happy to beg, steal and skank onto a rollercoaster ride of hedonism. Life explodes like a rush of ecstasy when Byron escapes into Nottingham's kinetic underworld and discovers the East Midlands' premier podium-dancer-cum-hellraiser, the mesmerising Lady Die. But when the comedown finally kicks in, Byron arrives at a shocking encounter that will change life forever.

Bold, poignant and riotously funny, What It Feels Like For a Girl is the unique, hotly-anticipated and addictively-readable debut from one of Britain's most exciting young writers.

Amazon should know how to deliver books without damaging.
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This is a fantastic book and the back has fun facts, plus a dedication the minor planet Pluto that was not included. If you are Gen-x you know that acknowledging Pluto on the back just warms yor heart. Most of the science info is on the back cover. The board book focuses on naming the planets and the artistry. I think this is great and the extra facts on the back are better for older kids who might want to pretend they are too big for baby books. This is a really beautiful book, but there was damage. The lip is all suffered up and marred (2nd picture) and where you open the book (1st picture) there is already a wear crease. I blame the defects on Amazon, but a cellophane wrap might have helped prevent the damage

Excellent children’s book on perseverance!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This is the seventh story about little Nick in the “World of Kids’ Emotions” series by author Elizabeth Cole. I have read all the books in this series and have shared them with my young grandson over the years. Emotions can be difficult for boys and girls too! I like how in this story Nick is trying rollerskating! He’s not doing very well and gets discouraged. Fortunately, his father offers some encouragement to persevere and keep at it! His mother tried baking cakes. At first she did not do a good job, but later mastered the skill of baking cakes. Other examples are used throughout the book to show that trying to do your best and having a goal are great ways to approach persevering! “Perseverance makes me stronger.” I love the positive messages that are in this book. Positive self talk and encouraging oneself are helpful tools. “No matter the outcome, at least I did try!” ”My dreams will come true because I believe in myself.” There are some positive affirmations at the end of the book. And also a free coloring page that can be downloaded with a scan code. The illustrations are very nice to look at and colorful. The artist did a lovely job. The illustrations go along with the storyline nicely. The writing in this book has a pleasant flow with lots of rhyming words. “Perseverance means not quitting right away, but keep trying more and more, day after day.”
