The Bolds
New edition with a BOLD new look and featuring exclusive new content
Mr and Mrs Bold are just like you and me: they live in a nice house, they have jobs, and they love to have a bit of a giggle. One slight difference: they’re hyenas. Yes, that’s right – they’re covered in fur, have tails tucked into their trousers, and they really, really like to laugh.
So far, the Bolds have managed to keep things under wraps, even when their children Bobby and Betty were born. But the nosy man next door smells a rat (or a hyena), and a trip to the local wildlife park, and the brilliantly wacky heist that results, could be the end of Teddington’s best-kept secret. Whatever will the neighbours think?
Not My Problem
Winner of the Waterstones Book Prize for Older Readers. A laugh-out-loud sapphic romcom for fans of Sex Education and Derry Girls.
When Aideen agrees to help ambitious class swot Maebh Kowalska deal with her crazy workload, she doesn’t expect to end up reluctantly pushing Maebh down the stairs and becoming the school ‘fixer’. Any problem a student has, Aideen will sort it out, from stealing confiscated mobiles to breaking into parties. But Aideen’s own life is a mess. Spending more time with the uptight (but annoyingly cute) Maebh and chatterbox Kavi, Aideen starts to wonder: can every problem be solved?
Winner of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize for Older Readers and the Laugh Out Loud Teen Book Award. Shortlisted for the Children’s Book Ireland Awards, the Irish Book Awards and the Polari Prize and nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
