                            It′s finally here! Six years and almost 1000 pages have all led to this epic finale! With six of Ramona′s seven evil exes dispatched, it should be time for Scott Pilgrim to face Gideon Graves, the biggest and baddest of her former beaus. But didn′t Ramona take off at the end of Book 5? Shouldn′t that let Scott off the hook? Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn′t, but one thing is for certain: all of this has been building to Scott Pilgrim′s Finest Hour!

                             
                            Eighth Grade Bites (Chronicles of Vladimir Tod) by Heather Brewer 31/07/2010

                            Junior high really stinks for thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod. Bullies harass him, the principal is dogging him, and the girl he likes prefers his best friend. Oh, and Vlad has a secret. His mother was human, but his father was a vampire. With no idea of the extent of his powers and no one to teach him, Vlad struggles daily with blood cravings and enlarged fangs. When a strange substitute teacher begins to question him a little too closely, Vlad worries that his cover is about to be blown. And then he realises he's being hunted by a vampire killer, and suddenly hunger, girls and bullies seem not quite such a problem after all.

                            The Emerald Casket (Billionaire's Trilogy Book II) by Richard Newsome 31/07/2010
                             
                            Picture
                            What do you do when you’re a billionaire, you’re thirteen and you’ve just discovered your family tree goes back a thousand years to a pact made by three brothers to carry three caskets to three secret locations and to protect them for centuries to come?

                            What do you do when you know a bloodthirsty criminal holds the contents of one of those caskets and will stop at nothing to discover the others?

                            Gerald, Sam and Ruby fly to India in Gerald’s private jet for a holiday at the home of Alisha Gupta, looking forward to getting away from the exhausting business of stolen gems, bejewelled caskets, thieves and bumbling police officers. But their holiday soon turns to a desperate quest to outwit a deadly cult, and to beat Mason Green to the Emerald Casket in a fast-paced race against time and tide.

                             
                            The Vegetable Ark by Kim Kane 31/07/2010
                             
                            Picture
                            We all know the story of Noah's Ark. But do we? In this gleeful twist on the original tale, Noah has a brother, Neil - and Noah and Neil are very different.
                            Noah is wealthy and a bit of a show-off. Neil hums songs about peace. Noah brokers deals with a tense frown, while Neil wears his hair long and chats dreamily to pot plants.
                            When it rains for forty days and forty nights, the race to find land is on: brother on brother, ark on boat, rack of lamb on bean...
                            Sue deGennaro's inventive and charming artwork perfectly complements Kim Kane's delightfully clever story of deepest darkest ark rivalry.

                            'Miss Amelia Hayes, welcome to The Land of Dreams. I am the staff trainer. I will call you grasshopper and you will call me sensei and I will give you the good oil. Right? And just so you know, I'm open to all kinds of bribery.'
                            From the moment 15-year-old Amelia begins work on the checkout at Woolworths she is sunk, gone, lost...head-over-heels in love with Chris. Chris is the funny, charming man-about-Woolies, but he's 21, and the six-year difference in their ages may as well be 100. Chris and Amelia talk about everything from Second Wave Feminism to Great Expectations and Alien but will he ever look at her in the way she wants him to? And if he does, will it be everything she hopes?

                            Life can sometimes seem a heavy burden...but there are ways of lightening the load. Dolly and Jack fall out over portraits they have painted of each other. They are so offended they can hardly breathe. But as they calm down, they discover it is not their collections or their bubble baths they love the best, but one another.
