A powerfully real and funny story from the rising queen of teen, about first kisses, learning to be true to yourself and how one click can last forever. Amelia Bright wants to be the best at everything. But when it comes to popularity, she is dead last. No matter what she tries, she can't shake her reputation as a maggoty nobody. When she meets a cute new boy, Evan, Amelia wonders if he can help her lose her loser status. And in a moment of hope, she agrees to something she quickly regrets - something that goes viral at school. Now she's not just called "maggot", she's a "bad influence" - and worse. But Amelia's determined not to let one mistake define her...she's so much more than the image everyone sees online.  Bad Influence tackles the complex issues of popularity, self-esteem and social media with heart and humour. An important and empowering read.

What's it like to grow up online and have every tantrum, every spot - even your first period - broadcast to hundreds of thousands of followers? Most parents try to limit their kids' online exposure. But not Eva's. Her parents run a hugely successful YouTube channel, and Eva is the star of the show. But Eva is getting sick of being made to pose in stupid mum-and-daughter matching outfits for sponsored posts. The freebies aren't worth the teasing at school. And when an intensely humiliating "period party" post goes viral, Eva is outraged. She's going to find a way to stop the channel, even if she has to sabotage it herself. Funny and heartfelt, this is an astute, timely look at the impact of online life and forging your own identity.

Jemima Small is funny and super smart. She knows a lot of things, like the fact that she’s made of 206 bones, over 600 muscles and trillions of cells. What she doesn’t know is how that can be true and yet she can still feel like nothing. Called Jemima Big by practically everybody at school, Jemima doesn't think her life could get any worse until she's weighed in front of her entire class and forced to join the school’s new "special" healthy lifestyle group - A.K.A Fat Club. She could not feel any less special. But, Jemima knows that the biggest stars in the universe are the brightest, so when she's given the chance to apply for her favourite TV quiz show, and now it's her time to shine. A brilliantly funny and touching novel exploring big issues of bullying, body confidence and, most importantly, learning to be happy with who you are.
