New Releases by Budge Wilson

Memorable collection of short stories about young people caught in that special time and place--the moment before childhood finally left behind.

In these eleven short stories, Budge Wilson, the popular author of Lorinda''s Diary and Thirteen Never Changes, explores growing up in a colourful but imperfect world from a female point of view. A pen pal halfway around the world, starting a diary, a favorite teacher''s romance with metaphors, the intricacies of family relationships, a high school reunion, the bittersweet taste of first love are all fodder for stories that will be read over and over again, and to treasure for a lifetime.

A collection of short stories which capture a variety of experiences and feelings of young women growing up in Nova Scotia.

As if Lorinda doesn''t have enough to worry about! Her Body is changing, her boy friends are turning into boyfriends, her Science teacher is mad at her, and her mother''s driving her crazy. Then her grandfather comes to visit-for six months. At first Lorinda thinks he might be an ally. Then he starts to complain-about everything. And it''s up to Lorinda to find out what''s really bothering him...

Budge Wilson has written numerous children''s stories. She lives in Nova Scotia''s south shore region.

Lorinda and James are up to their ears in mystery. What are those scary lights flashing through the moonless dark out on the inky water? No one will answer their questions, not even their parents. They''re scared, too! It''s up to Lorinda and James and their friends to get to the bottom of this ...

Only a week has passed since The Worst Christmas Present Ever, and already Lorinda and James have a new problem. They have to stay in Peterborough for six months while the rest of the family goes to Texas.
