Abbie, Lauren and Ruby are earning some holiday dosh at the Northgate Poetry Festival. It promises to be dull, dull, dull until they meet the ravishing Ron Lord.

Posing poets, fit photographers and a ghostly ex-girlfriend stalk the pages of this hilarious new novel from the author of The Henry Game and Delilah and the Dark Stuff.

The Henry Game

An hilarious teenage novel about a trio of friends who summon up the spirit of Henry VIII - who then begins to stalk them!

Imagine meeting Henry VIII and finding he's madly in love with you! 
 
One lazy summer afternoon Abigail persuades Lauren and Marina to experiment with a homemade ouija board. The girls don't seriously expect the séance to work and are shocked when the glass starts moving, but that's nothing to the shock they get when they realise they have summoned up the spirit of a long-dead randy royal - Henry VIII. The trouble really begins when Henry declares his love for the sultry Marina and starts behaving in a seriously sinister manner. Jealous and possessive, Henry sets about controlling the girls' lives and making a right royal nuisance of himself... 
 
Friendship, first love and men behaving badly - this is a fantastically funny chick-lit read.

This is a great book written in a modern style

'I don't do dark stuff. Dark stuff comes back on you three times over.' 
 
After bad experiences with spooks Abbie and Lauren have sworn off the dark arts. Then self-proclaimed teen-witch Delilah declares she can use her craft to clear up Lauren's eczema and spice up Abbie's love life . . . 
 
It seems like harmless fun. But there's a sinister figure stalking the girls and when Delilah starts to dabble in the dark stuff the girls find themselves in very deep water . . .
