A follow-up to Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series.
As in all previous Shopaholic books, Rebecca is loud and proud about her luxury-brand obsession and equally at ease being a flighty, sometimes annoying lead, though her well-meaning secret birthday mission scores her much-needed points in the sympathy department. Series fans know what to expect and will get it by the Birkin-load.

Long Afternoon Of Earth
This is one of those books to force the mind away from the everyday, the mundane, the what's-happening-today-in-Bongo Bongoland-and-what-are-we-doing-about-it that has our minds squeezed so tight we can't think further than the next daily broadcast of the world news and the next spoon-fed opinion from our favorite demigogue. The planet earth has a future that might, or mightn't include a fragile, two-legged creature who thinks he owns it all. In this book it includes him, but he doesn't own it.

Guess What Happened at School Today
A hilarious collection of poems from the creator of the best-selling DUCK IN THE TRUCK series. We learnt about acorns and planted a tree, Nigel fell over and bashed up his knee, Rosie Rawlings cried at play - Her pet rabbit's run away. In English, Miss Chadwick was in a bad mood. At lunchtime we all made a mess with our food. And you'll never guess what happened to Claire, She leaned back too far and fell off her chair! Jez Alborough's hilarious rhymes describe a typical day at school, as seen through the eyes of various pupils.
Following the unexpected global success of Words For You, a unique album of classic poems, read by British actors and set to classical music, this follow-up album adds a host of big names including Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham Carter, Terence Stamp, Jim Broadbent and many others. (2010 release)
