Description

THE BESTSELLING NEW SERIES FOR KIDS, TOLD ENTIRELY IN THE FORM OF A GROUP CHAT, FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR AND COMEDY-WRITER, EMILY-JANE CLARK.

Welcome to the group chat! It’s called Cringe Club because, as you might have guessed, it contains a cringe binge of EPIC proportions. 

My name is Kennedy King and I have been FORCED to move to London by The Mother. I have just started Hellington High School (aka HELL HIGH). The only GOOD thing about moving is that The Mother has finally agreed to let me have my own phone (guilt present) so I can stay in touch with my best friends. Enter at your own risk (of cringe) and remember . . . what is said in Cringe Club, STAYS in Cringe Club.

  • Features themes of fitting in and making friends, starting a new school and (most importantly) embracing your cringe!
  • For readers aged 8+ with illustrations throughout

Though completely different to ‘Lessons in Chemistry’, this novel is a worthy successor and is as brilliantly life-affirming and enjoyable!
Batter Grey is a fantastically flawed and witty protagonist with a passion for all things poetry, which leads him to apply for a role at the prestigious and illusive Peck and Peck poetry journal in New York City.

House of Books & Friends is overjoyed to welcome author Marta Perez-Carbonell to discuss her book, ‘I Made You Up Inside My Head’. The event will take place on Wednesday 11th November and will involve a discussion, a Q&A, and a chance for you to get your book signed by Marta. Marta will be in conversation with lecturer Luis Castellví Laukamp.

This event is in partnership with Instituto Cervantes. 

📕About the book:
On a sleeper train from London and Edinburgh, a woman and two strangers pass the time by telling stories about their lives.

One man reveals the true story behind the novel he wrote: the young man, Hans, who trusted him with intimate details about his life, and whose confidence he betrayed when he converted Hans’s life into fiction for his own gain.

As her cabin-mates reveal that Hans has since disappeared, with foul-play suspected, Alicia becomes gripped by the question of what really happened between the two men. She begins to re-examine her own memories, to try and discern what brought her to this point – and her involvement in the story told that night soon goes beyond a mere observer.

✏️About the author
Marta Pérez-Carbonell was born and raised in Spain and now teaches contemporary Spanish literature at Colgate University in upstate New York; she has also worked as a translator and interpreter. I Made You Up Inside My Head is her first novel.
