APRIL 2016 Lisette's Paris Notebook Catherine Bateson A warm and funny tale of romance and missteps as Lisette finds her feet in Paris, the city of love. Description What do you wear to Paris? Ami and I discussed it for hours but I still couldn't think of anything suitable. Ami said a trench coat with nothing underneath but your best underwear. That was only if some boy was meeting you at the airport, I said. Eighteen-year-old Lisette has just arrived in Paris (France!) - the city of haute couture and all things stylish - to practise her French and see great works of art. Her clairvoyant landlady Madame Christophe forces her to attend language lessons with a bunch of international students but soon Lise discovers she's more interested in studying boys than art or verbs ... When the undeniably hot Anders jogs into her life it feels too good to be true. Things get even more complicated when she is pursued by Hugo, a charming English antiques dealer. Can she take a chance and follow her own dreams? How far into the future can Madame Christophe see? And could Lise really be falling in love - in Paris? About the Author First published as a poet, Catherine Bateson has twice won the CBCA Book of the Year for Younger Readers, and been awarded the Queensland Premier's Award, Younger Readers. She's written more than a dozen novels for young adults and younger readers.

Description My name is Chase Cooper, and I'm a 6th grade ninja. It's my first day at a new school and the only person I know is my cousin, Zoe (but she might be a little too cool for me). I was just another scrawny kid until a group of ninjas recruited me into their clan. It was a world of trouble I wasn't prepared for, which is why I kept this diary (or 'chronicle' as my dad would call it) to warn other kids about the dangers of becoming a ninja. They say history is destined to repeat itself... well, not if I can help it.

My school recently had a day where everyone talked like a pirate, but it didn't stop after that! It became worse as the week went on, and pretty soon there were warnings of a massive pirate invasion. I ignored the warnings because I thought they were a joke. Turns out... I was wrong. Now my entire school is in danger, and I'm the only one that can save it.
