Place For Everything

Wilson, Anna

'Painful, raw and with an honesty that rings clear as a bell' Catherine Simpson, author of When I Had a Little Sister A searing account of a mother's late-diagnosis of autism - and its reaching effects on a whole family. Anna grew up in a house that was loving, even if her mum was 'a little eccentric'. They knew to keep things clean, to stay quiet, and to look the other way when things started to get 'a bit much for your mum'. It's only when her mother reaches her 70s, and Anna has a family of her own, that the cracks really start to appear. More manic. More irrational. More detached from the world. And when her father, the man who has calmed and cajoled her mother through her entire life is diagnosed with cancer, the whole world turns upside down. This is a story of a life lived with undiagnosed Aspergers, about the person behind the disorder, those big unspoken family truths, and what it means to care for our parents in their final years.

Nina Fairy Ballerina: Show Time

I hope everyone out there will know by now about how I, Summer Holly Love, finally persuaded my mum to let me have a wonderful golden Labrador puppy of my own named Honey. (If you are not aware of this, you can read all about it in PUPPY LOVE, a fascinating and frankly gripping account of The Said Event.)
Anyway, things have Moved On since those early days of dog-ownership. Honey went through a bit of a Difficult Phase recently, developing a taste for shoes (mainly flip-flops) and terrorising dinner guests. So, to help her through her Awkward Adolescence, I dutifully (and brilliantly) trained her at Obedience Class and in the garden. And, hurrah! Honey`s amazing talents shone through just in time for our School Talent Content, where we performed our `Pup Idol` star act - and became Famous Celebrities in Our Own Right!

Pup Idol

Honey the dog is having puppies—seven times the fun, seven times the complete-and-utter chaos
Life has been a bit yawnsome since Summer Holly Love trained her golden Labrador, Honey, to become a "Doggy of Well-Behaved and Quietish Proportions." Which is why it's so fantastic that Honey is expecting her very own litter of pups! Now that she is a mother-to-be, her eating habits have gone loop-the-loop crazy, and she keeps building strange nests all over our house. Meanwhile, Summer is having to sort out her sister's dramas with her boyfriend, Nick the vet, who has been spending rather a lot of time with his new nurse, Felicity Shufflebottom. Will the arrival of Honey's tiny pups make everyone happier or will our household simply dissolve into mayhem and chaos?

So, to score herself plenty of animal time, she sets us a secret pet-sitting service. It's the perfect solution! Or is it? Her first ward, Kaboodle, may just give her more than she bargained for! This is a funny, heart-warming, and slightly cat-astrophic story about a kitten whose tongue is sharper than his claws.
