The Rest of Us Just Live Here

It’s one of our Teen Book Club Editor’s favourites, and we think plenty of teens will love this too. Award-winning writer Patrick Ness’s bold and irreverent novel powerfully asks, what if you weren’t the Chosen One? Mikey just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school… Again. With a killer cover, this book is just begging to be a Christmas gift!

Contains mature content.

Geek Girl: All Wrapped Up

This Geek Girl seasonal special is made to be read (and reread) in the comfiest Christmas sweater, in the cosiest spot, with a cup of tea and a Christmas treat of your choice (are you #TeamCake or #TeamPudding?). It’s an extra special Christmas for our favourite model misfit, Harriet, because four days ago she had her First Ever Kiss. And now she has no idea what’s going to happen next!
