Titles in this set: 1. Queenie 2. Empress & Aniya 3. People Person Description: Queenie Queenie is a twenty-five-year-old Black woman living in south London, straddling Jamaican and British culture whilst slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper where she's constantly forced to compare herself to her white, middle-class peers, and beg to write about Black Lives Matter. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie finds herself seeking comfort in all the wrong places. As Queenie veers from one regrettable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be? - the questions that every woman today must face in a world that keeps trying to provide the answers for them. A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on life, love, race and family, Queenie will have you nodding in recognition, crying in solidarity and rooting for this unforgettable character every step of the way. A disarmingly honest, boldly political and truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has gone looking for love and acceptance and found something very different in its place. Empress & Aniya When Empress starts at Aniya’s school, they’re not exactly best friends. But, when the two teenage girls accidentally cast a spell on their 16th birthday and end up switching bodies, they quickly learn that friendship is the most important magic of all. South London’s answer to ‘Freaky Friday’, Empress and Aniya is a moving portrayal of the importance of real friendship and the ups and downs of being a teenager. People Person If you could choose your family, you wouldn't choose the Penningtons Dimple, Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie and Prynce are half-siblings who don't have much in common except abandonment issues. But when a catastrophic event forces them to reconnect with each other and with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things start to get complicated fast . . . People Person is a propulsive story of heart, humour and homecoming, about the true nature of family and the complexities of belonging.

This stunning paperback collection features Suzanne Collins's best-selling trilogy The Hunger Games. This set features all three books in the popular science fiction dystopian adventure series. Written from the perspective of sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, living in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, she unravels the oppressive regimes and the social inequality between the districts and the overpowering Capitol state. This collection features all three novels in the coming-of-age series. The first book in the series starts with The Hunger Games featuring Katniss Everdeen as she is forced to participate in the deadliest game show, surviving night after night of relentless dangers, fighting to the death where there can only be one winner. The book’s significant positive reception led to a movie adaptation released in 2012, featuring Jennifer Lawrence as the fierce Katniss Everdeen. Catching Fire is the second book in Suzanne Collins’s phenomenal, worldwide best-selling Hunger Games trilogy. Join Katniss Everdeen in another thrilling adventure as she must make difficult choices after her shocking actions during the finale of the deadliest Hunger Games. Little does she know that her actions have caused a much bigger stir than intended, affecting more than just her own survival but also causing unrest rippling throughout the other districts. In a twisting turn of events, the Capitol announces the 75th Hunger Games with a twist- tributes will be selected from the surviving victors of the previous Games. Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before, and surprising readers at every turn. A shocking revelation that echoes the extremes of a not-so-distant future, fans of the series will witness Katniss’ fight for survival, manipulation and her battle for redemption if she is to survive the Games once more. The series concludes with Mockingjay, the third and final book in Suzanne Collins’s dystopian survival adventure Hunger Games trilogy. After the shocking events at the end of Catching Fire, the action picks right up to Katniss’ rescue from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell. If Katniss could go home, she would, except District Twelve has been destroyed and Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District Thirteen has emerged from the depths of the shadows and myths and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans- except for Katniss. Drawn in the whirlwind of a revolution, the success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss’ willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for the countless lives at stake, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. Katniss must become the symbol of the rebellion- she must become the Mockingjay- no matter what the personal cost. Fans of The Hunger Games trilogy will certainly enjoy our other range of YA dystopian box sets including...

Title In This Set: 1. American Gods 2. Neverwhere 3. Anansi Boys 4. Stardust 5. The Ocean at the End of the Lane Description: American Gods After three years in prison, Shadow Moon is free to go home. But hours before his release, his beloved wife is killed in a freak accident. Numbly, he boards a plane where he meets an enigmatic stranger who seems to know Shadow and claims to be an ancient god - and king of America. Together they embark on a profoundly strange road trip across the USA, encountering a kaleidoscopic cast of characters along the way. But all around them a storm of unnatural proportions is gathering. War is coming, an epic struggle for the very soul of America. And Shadow is standing squarely in its path. Neverwhere Under the streets of London lies a world most people could never dream of. When Richard Mayhew stops to help a girl he finds bleeding in the street, his unremarkable life changes in an instant. This act of kindness leads him to a place filled with murderers and angels, pale girls in black velvet, a Beast in a labyrinth and an Earl who holds Court in a tube train. It is strangely familiar yet utterly bizarre. Anansi Boys Everything changes for Fat Charlie Nancy, the South London boy so called by his father, the day his dad drops dead while doing karaoke. Charlie didn't know his estranged father was a god - Anansi the trickster, master of mischief and social disorder. He never knew he had a brother either. Now brother Spider is on his doorstep, about to make life more interesting . . . and a lot more dangerous. It's a meeting that will take Fat Charlie from his London home to Florida, the Caribbean, and the very beginning of the world itself. Or the end of the world, depending on which way you're looking. Stardust Life moves at a leisurely pace in the tiny town of Wall - named after the imposing stone barrier which separates the town from a grassy meadow. Here, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the beautiful Victoria Forester and for the coveted prize of her hand, Tristran vows to retrieve a fallen star and deliver it to his beloved. It is an oath that sends him over the ancient wall and into a world that is dangerous and strange beyond imagining . . . The Ocean at the End of the Lane This is what he remembers, as he sits by the ocean at the end of the lane: A dead man on the back seat of the car, and warm milk at the farmhouse. An ancient little girl, and an old woman who saw the moon being made. A beautiful housekeeper with a monstrous smile. And dark forces woken that were best left undisturbed. They are memories hard to believe, waiting at the edges of things. The recollections of a man who thought he was lost but is now, perhaps, remembering a time when he was saved . . .

Titles in this set: 1. Same as Ever 2. The Psychology of Money Description: Same as Ever When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?” But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future. In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same. Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future. The Psychology of Money Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money investing, personal finance, and business decisions is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.
