‘My name is Harriet Manners, and I am a geek.’
Books 1 – 3 in the bestselling, award-winning GEEK GIRL series.
GEEK GIRL
Harriet Manners knows that a cat has thirty-two muscles in each ear, a “jiffy” lasts a hundredth of a second, and the average person laughs fifteen times per day. She knows that bats always turn left when exiting a cave and that peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite.
But she doesn’t know why nobody at school seems to like her. So when Harriet is spotted by a top model agent, she grabs the chance to reinvent herself.
MODEL MISFIT
Harriet Manners knows a lot of facts. She knows that Geek + Model = a whole new set of graffiti on your belongings, and that the average person eats a ton of food a year, though her pregnant stepmother is doing her best to beat this!
But Harriet doesn’t know where she’s going to fit in once the new baby arrives. And with her summer plans ruined, modelling in Japan seems the perfect chance to get away.
PICTURE PERFECT
Harriet Manners knows more facts than most. She knows that New York is the most populous city in the United States and she knows that its official motto is ‘Ever Upward’.
But she knows nothing whatsoever about modelling in the Big Apple and how her family will cope with life stateside. And even more importantly, what to do when the big romantic gestures aren’t coming your way from your boyfriend…
‘My name is Harriet Manners, and I am a geek.’
Books 4 – 6 in the bestselling, award-winning GEEK GIRL series.
ALL THAT GLITTERS
Harriet Manners knows many things. She knows that toilet roll was invented by the Chinese in 600 AD. She knows that a comet’s tail always points away from the sun. And she knows that the average healthy heart beats seventy times per minute. Even when it’s broken.
But she knows nothing about making new friends at Sixth Form. Or why even her old friends seem to be avoiding her. And she knows even less about being a glittering supermodel success. Which she now is – apparently.
HEAD OVER HEELS
Harriet Manners knows almost every fact there is. She knows duck-billed platypuses don’t have stomachs. She knows that fourteen squirrels were once detained as spies. She knows that both chess and snakes and ladders were invented in the same country.
And for once, Harriet knows exactly how her life should go. She’s got it ALL planned out. So when her friends seem less than happy, Harriet is determined to Make Things Happen!
If only everyone else would stick to the script…
FOREVER GEEK
Harriet Manners knows almost every fact there is. Modelling isn’t a sure-fire route to popularity. Neither is making endless lists. Statistically you are more likely to not meet your Australian ex-boyfriend in Australia than bump into him there.
So on the trip of a lifetime, Down Under, Harriet’s to-do lists are gone and it’s Nat’s time to shine! Yet with nearly-not-quite-boyfriend Jasper back home, Harriet’s completely unprepared to see supermodel ex Nick. Is the fashion world about to turn ugly for GEEK GIRL?
A mutant potato learns that he's pear-fect just the way he is in this bright, fun, and silly picture book from the creator of It Came in the Mail that will have kids collapsing in giggles (and rescuing the contents of the vegetable drawer). Rot is a mutant potato. Like most mutant potatoes, Rot loves all sorts of games and contests. So when he sees a sign for the "Cutest in the World Contest," he can't wait to enter. But when Rot realizes who he's up against-an itty-bitty baby bunny, a little-wittle cuddly kitten, and an eenie-weenie jolly jellyfish-he loses confidence. Will the judges find room in their hearts for an adorable mutant potato?
Rot faces a scary, squirmy new challenge and finds what makes him feel brave in this sweet and slimy companion to Rot, the Cutest in the World! Rot is a mutant potato. Like most mutant potatoes, Rot loves mud. He plays games in it, he eats it, he even sleeps in it! So, when Rot sees the most magnificent, messy mud pit ever, he can't wait to dive right in. But then, Rot's big brother warns him: Watch out for the Squirm! The Squirm is slippery and slimy and gross and grimy, and it lives in the beloved mud. Now, Rot's too scared to jump into the puddle. Can anything help him feel brave enough to take the plunge and face...the Squirm?
