Hilarious, bold, sparky and surprising, this is the funniest feminist book you'll read all year. Alex is a rebel with a purple fauxhawk and biker boots. St Mary's Catholic School is a strict boarding school where she's currently trapped. Despite trying everything she can to get expelled, she's still stuck with the nuns, the prudish attitude and the sexism. Fed up with life inside the hallowed halls of St. Mary's, Alex decides to take matters into her own hands. She's going to stage the school's first ever production of The Vagina Monologues. Which may be a challenge, as no one else at St Mary's can even bear to say the word 'vagina' out loud... Hilarious, bold, sparky and surprising, this is the funniest book you'll read all year. A must-read for fans of Holly Smale, Derry Girls and Sex Education.

Bad Habits

With a little work, he might even by boyfriend material. But for down-to-earth Kelly Robbins, the boy recession is causing all sorts of problems. She has secretly liked her good friend Hunter for a while now, but how can she stand out in a crowd of overzealous Spandexers? As if dating wasn't hard enough without a four-to-one ratio!

The Boy Recession

Fifteen-year-old Finbar Frame missed out in the gene-pool stakes to his twin brother Luke.

But at his new school Finbar seizes the opportunity to become a vampire Or at least fake it... to get a date.

Bloodthirsty

Anticonvenzionale, sfrontata, spassosa. Una commedia romantica effervescente. Per chi ha amato Sex education. A diciassette anni le regole non possono che stare troppo strette. Stanno strette ad Alex, che detesta i genitori per averla rinchiusa in una bigotta scuola cattolica. E stanno strette a Mary Kate, dolcissima, ligia al dovere, devota, e soprattutto stanca di rimandare il sesso fino al matrimonio. Anche ad altri, al liceo St Mary, certe regole vanno troppo strette. Ma non tutti osano esporsi, quasi nessuno pensa di poter cambiare le cose. Di certo non lo pensa Alex, che come unico obiettivo ha quello di farsi espellere dal liceo dei bacchettoni, e tornare a una vita normale, senza suore e preti che scorrazzano nel giardino a ogni cambio d’ora. Ma quando Alex si rende conto che per attirare l’attenzione di suo padre non basta finire dal preside una volta alla settimana, decide per una strategia diversa. Quella della parola proibita. E qual è la cosa che spaventa di più gli insegnanti del liceo in cui l’hanno rinchiusa? La vagina. Gridare quella parola. Alex intende far sentire la voce della vagina, certo, ma con stile. Con uno spettacolo teatrale colto e appropriato: I monologhi della vagina. A Mary Kate il piano di Alex sembra pessimo. Ad Alex il piano della vagina sembra geniale. Una cosa è certa, le regole stanno per cambiare.

La parola proibita

Previously published as The Boy Recession. The population of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, is shrinking as families move to cities and towns with greener pastures, and the local high school is hurting: Nearly all of the area's most eligible guy shave moved or transferred schools. With little competition, the remaining boys find their stocks on the rise, and even the most unlikely candidates have a good chance of making the team and getting the girl. Guitar-strumming slacker Hunter Fahrenbach has made an art of blending into the background, but now desperate coaches are recruiting him and popular girls are noticing his scruffy good looks. With a little help, Hunter might even be boyfriend material... Down-to-earth Kelly Robbins has simple wish for her junior year: "one normal, nice boy to crush on." Kelly and Hunter have always been friends, but is there something more to their platonic relationship? And can Kelly overcome the odds? After all, dating is hard enough without a four-to-one ratio. Flynn Meaney's writing has been described as "witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and real," and Boys Wanted cements her spot as a comedic star on the rise.
