Where do you run when your heart's breaking all the rules? When pillar-of-the-community Harry Stewart dies of a sudden heart attack, the whole village is devastated - except for his wife Karen, the only one who really knew the abusive alcoholic Harry had become. Suddenly freed from this oppressive marriage, Karen is nonetheless wracked with guilt about the circumstances of her husband's death, and sees the presence of her spoiled step-daughter, Sophie, as a suitable purgatory. Her only comfort in her grief and isolation is William, the sympathetic local vicar. As Karen shares her secret, William's listening ear soon becomes a shoulder to cry on, and before long Karen realises she is falling in love. But William has a wife and teenaged daughter, not to mention a parish to watch over - and be watched by. As the pressure becomes too much to bear, Karen flees to the seaside and to Mike Best's beach café. But when William suddenly turns up again in her life, can they persuade each other to take one final leap of faith together?

Teens waging a war of practical jokes declare peace when they fall for one another in this charming YA romantic comedy from Jessica Pennington. They have a love-hate relationship with summer. Sidney and Asher should have clicked. Two star swimmers forced to spend their summers on a lake together sounds like the perfect match. But it’s the same every year—in between cookouts and boat rides and family-imposed bonfires, Sidney and Asher spend the dog days of summer finding the ultimate ways to prank each other. And now, after their senior year, they’re determined to make it the most epic yet. But their plans are thrown in sudden jeopardy when their feud causes their families to be kicked out of their beloved lake houses. Once in their new accommodations, Sidney expects the prank war to continue as usual. But then she gets a note—Meet me at midnight. And Asher has a proposition for her: join forces for one last summer of epic pranks, against a shared enemy—the woman who kicked them out. Their truce should make things simpler, but six years of tormenting one another isn’t so easy to ignore. Kind of like the undeniable attraction growing between them.

In 1973, after answering an ad in the Construction News, Colin Bird finds himself flying to the sub-tropical island of Bermuda on a two-year work contract, excited but unsure of what he will find. Colin is blown away by the beauty of the island, with its pristine pink sand beaches and white roofed, pastel-coloured houses set amongst a riot of spectacular flora. With no grinding poverty, he soon realises that Bermuda is as close to paradise as it can possibly get - a view that is only underlined by the high standard of living made possible thanks to generous tax-free salaries. He discovers that there are many other young expat workers on the island, and he settles quickly into his new surroundings, becoming immersed in the frenetic bar, beach, and party scene. With close friendships that will last a lifetime, overactive love lives, and a dedication to the support of the distillery industry – particularly in the production of rum, Meet Me at Elbow Beach is a personal account of the adventures of a group of people in a place that was perfect for indulging in life’s pleasures.

"The teaching of literacy is a high priority for teachers and for governments, yet some of the approaches commonly used are very limiting, joyless and, ultimately, ineffective. In contrast, Fred Sedgwick shows how literacy can be combined with, and promoted through, a love of reading and children's ability to think and write creatively." Using a wide variety of rich resources, the author shows how to put creative approaches into practice and illustrates, through children's work, just how rewarding those results can be.
