Hayley Long Bücher

Ein schrecklicher Autounfall und von einer Sekunde auf die andere ist im Leben der beiden Brüder Griff und Dylan nichts mehr, wie es war. Während der 13-jährige Griff verzweifelt versucht, sich von der Trauer um den Verlust seiner Familie nicht überwältigen zu lassen, lässt Dylan nichts unversucht, seinen jüngeren Bruder zu schützen und ihm dennoch langsam zurück ins Leben zu helfen. Tatsächlich gelingt es den beiden auch ganz allmählich, ihren Platz wieder zu finden – jeder für sich und trotzdem gemeinsam. 

Sophie ist 14 und wohnt in Brüssel. Ihr Nachname ist Nieuwenleven. Ihre Mutter verlässt nie das Haus. So viel weiß sie genau. Aber was sind das für seltsame Erinnerungen - ihre Mutter, die eine Perücke trägt und die fünfjährige Sophie über einen Bahnhof zerrt. Wer ist dieser Fremde, der Sophies Vater plötzlich mit anderem Namen anspricht? Und wieso hat Sophie eigentlich als Einzige in der Klasse keinen Ausweis? Plötzlich steht Sophies ganzes Leben Kopf - bis hin zu ihrer Sprache. Doch in einer Umgebung, in der Sophie nicht einmal mal weiß, ob ihr Name echt ist, kann die „Welt“ schon mal zur „Wurst“ werden und die „Hand“ zur „Harke“. Zusammen mit ihrer Freundin macht sich Sophie auf die Suche nach ihrer wirklichen Identität.

From friendships to relationships, periods to body matters, this warm and wise book tells it like it is. Being a Girl is not all sugar and spice and everything nice. How can you possibly survive school and even think about talking to your crush when you have spots in places you didn't even know you had, your boobs are too big (or too small) and the friend drama is off the charts. Luckily, bestselling YA author and sixth-form teacher Hayley Long provides a straight-talking guide to puberty - from cattiness to kisses, being a girlfriend and everything in between. With witty black-and-white illustrations by Gemma Correll throughout, Being a Girl gives girls everything they need to know about surviving puberty, in an honest and humorous way.

Me and my sister are twins. She's Jolene and I'm Jody. We've both got brown hair, we're both left-handed and we both have these weirdly long little toes which make us look like long-toed mutants. But apart from that, I'd say we're fairly different. Well, actually, we're a lot different . . . It's hard enough being one half of the world's least identical twins, without both of you falling for the same guy. Jolene's turned flirting into a fine art, but Jody? Not so much. And as if a twinny love triangle wasn't messy enough . . . there's something nobody knows about Jody Barton. Something BIG. Told with the trademark warmth and laugh-out-loud humour of the much-loved LOTTIE BIGGS books, this is a book that will make you think, with a gobsmacking twist you won't believe.

Music to Make Friends By is a funny, uplifting and autobiographical book about the life-changing moments and friendships that result from loving pop music. From buying my first record, aged 9, to teaming up with a friend to DJ in the bars and clubs of Cardiff, each short chapter is packed with music and memories.

High Fidelity for post-student women coming to terms with their men and their bands. A quirky battle of the senses for Ally, narrator with attitude and an unfortunate crush on the lead singer of Mr Big.
