Mia and Michael are finally an item, but her totally out-of-control Grandmere seems to have other plans... Just before the happy couple's first hot date, an unmissable royal engagement turns up. Could it be that Michael doesn't measure up — and that (please not!) Grandmere's got someone else in mind for Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo? Previously published as Mia Goes Fourth, Royally Obsessed is the fourth novel in the hilarious, bestselling The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot — with a gorgeous cover to celebrate the series's fifteenth anniversary. |

Princess Mia Thermopolis is about to turn fifteen — and can't wait to dance the night away with Michael at the biggest, most romantic event of her life so far: the senior prom! But nothing's going according to plan. Not only does Mia face a snoozefest summer of public functions in Genovia. Even worse is the fact that Michael hasn't even invited Mia to the prom at all. Hello, what is going on here? Just as Mia comes up with a perfect plan to change her man's mind, disaster strikes. A disaster that only a (slightly-evil) genius like Grandmere can overcome... Previously published as Give Me Five, Prom Princess is the fifth novel in the hilarious bestselling The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot — with a gorgeous cover to celebrate the series' fifteenth anniversary. |

How can Princess Mia Thermopolis bear it? Michael, her ONE TRUE LOVE, has gone away to college, leaving her to face a new school year TOTALLY ALONE (well, nearly). With a potential eco-disaster happening in Genovia, a new English teacher who doesn't understand her and a totally transformed (hot!) Boris to get used to, life for the world's most reluctant royal is looking like it can't get much worse. Until Grandmere and Lilly step in — with a plan to save Genovia and Albert Einstein High. A plan that involves Grandmere showing up at school in her fur cape and tiara! |

Poor Mia Thermopolis. Not only has she made a total ass of herself with J.P. (aka the Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli) by trying to prove that she's a super-chilled party girl. She's also bankrupted the student council. Way to go, Princess. Just as Mia's scared that she's lost Michael AND a ton of money, Grandmere steps in with a fundraising plan. She's going to stage a musical in front of the world's hottest celebs — and the star will be none other than Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo! |
|
The new school year's only just begun and already there have been some BIG surprises for Princess Mia Thermopolis. Not least, Tina's revelation that Lilly's probably Done It with J.P.! And what about Mia's new haircut, which has turned out kind of... extreme? But then Michael drops a REAL bombshell. He has been accepted on a year-long Computer Science course... in Japan! Can Mia's perfect prince really love her if he can go away for a year? And what would it take to make him stay? |
|
Princess Mia Thermopolis has hit an all-time low. Lilly isn't speaking to her. Someone is posting horrible things about her on ihatemiathermopolis.com. Grandmere is forcing her to give a speech to two thousand of the most powerful businesswomen in America. And, oh yeah: Michael, the love of her life, has dumped her. But despite what the press seems to think, Mia has more on her mind than recruiting a new Prince Charming. Like solving a 400-year-old mystery that could mean BIG changes for little Genovia. But is Mia really ready to throw away her tiara — especially if it means destroying a dynasty? |

Alfred Edward Housman's A Shropshire Lad is the wonderful collection of poems that are so evocative of 'the blue remembered hills' of his youth. In this half-imaginary 'land of lost content' the recurring theme is one of the helplessness of man against an achingly beautiful countryside. It has inspired generations of readers, and has found its way into the canon of English folksong with settings by Butterworth, Ireland and Ralph Vaughan Williams. |

A second-stage student's book which is part of a secondary-school ELT course. The multi-syllabus approach involves systematic recycling of grammar, functions, vocabulary, skills and pronunciation, and there is a project every ten lessons. |

A beautiful, very moving, melancholic and elegiac novel set in the late 1960s in Melton, a small town in the West Country. The story revolves around a disparate group of people who come together there to establish an arts festival. There is Jack Curtis a self-made millionaire who has bought and refurbished the local stately home, Florence Plover, a garden designer in her sixties whom he has employed and her Anglo-Greek niece, Persephone. There are the Musgrove siblings, Thomas and Mary, whose family originally owned Melton Hall, who run a failing garden nursery nearby and there is Francis Brock, whose sister Celia, Thomas's wife, was tragically killed in a car crash some years previously. This is the story of their intertwining relationships and how they come to love, and not to love each other in different ways and why — a perfect book to curl up and read by the fireside on an autumn afternoon and as satisfying a read as Brief Encounter is a film. |

One of the great revelations of William Shawcross's official biography was the Queen Mother's private correspondence. Indeed, The Sunday Times described her letters as wonderful... brimful of liveliness and irreverence, steeliness and sweetness. Now, drawing on the vast wealth of material in the Royal Archives, at Glamis Castle, and elsewhere, Shawcross has put together a selection of those letters. A prolific correspondent from her earliest childhood to the very end of her life, her letters offer readers a vivid insight into the person behind the public face. Full of wit, hilarity, acute observation and a deeply held sense of duty, Queen Elizabeth's letters constitute a chronicle both of her long life and of the twentieth century. |
