New Releases by John Allison

McGraw puts faith in his and Daisy's "unique understanding" while trying to deal with the fact he is a low down double-dealing dirty cheat whose name is now mud in the influential Spanish community.

"Originally published in single magazine form as Giant Days no. 21-24"--Indicia.

Daisy has abandoned (friend)ship after the apocalyptic falling out from last issue, so McGraw (whose own reputation is in shambles) takes it upon himself to mend things.

As Easter break looms, Esther and Susan are forced to address Ingrid's constant crimes against household decency.

Esther feels guilty when she befriends McGraw''s girlfriend and leaves Susan out in the cold, while Daisy thinks she''s found the perfect girl for Ed Gemmell.

Originally published in single magazine form as Giant Days no. 1-8.

What's the secret of the shed in the back of the girls' house, and why are strange men visiting it in the middle of the night?!

Esther gets caught up in the influence of a "super-woke" colleague, and Susan grows frustrated with Ingrid''s presence in their home.

Time is a fickle creature, especially when there's wormhole in the science cupboard. When a strange boy who seems far too entranced by cell phones appears, it's up to Lottie, Shauna, and Mildred to figure out his strange purposes. The Case of the Forked Road, the seventh book in John Allison's award-winning Bad Machinery series, finds our young sleuths facing the intricacies of time and space itself. What is their science teacher hiding? Who is the mysterious Calvin, why is he dressed like it’s 1960, and why is he obsessed with Communists? And another thing: just what is going on with Jack, Sonny, and Linton?

Ed and McGraw''s home has become a no-go zone with the addition of Dean Thompson, and the impending visit of his girlfriend Posy is anticipated with a mixture of morbid curiosity and dread.

As the Christmas break looms, Susan''s endless cold refuses to go away, Daisy is in the honeymoon period of her relationship with Ingrid, and Esther is working all hours at the comic shop.

The next-door neighbor calls the police on what may be the most sedate dinner party of all time, causing Susan to deliver a furious and extremely unkind - but totally justified - opinion on the matter.

Daisy struggles with the persistent advances of Ingrid Oesterle, Esther gets the call from Dark Nebula to be a comic shop employee, and Susan finally saves up enough money to buy a scooter that she's too afraid to ride.

The girls come home to find that they have been burgled, so Susan decides to employ her street smarts in order to retrieve their stolen items. Daisy and Esther, against their better judgement, decide to help.

The second year begins! When Esther, Daisy and Susan discover that every piece of furniture in their new home was destroyed by the previous occupants, they head to IKEA, where things get complicated.

What if Susan, Esther, and Daisy hadn''t become friends on their first day of university?? The world as we know it would be completely different! Or at least...moderately different! It''s the darkest timeline for our favorite students. Daisy is an Enya-blasting hermit, Susan violently dislikes her, and Esther falls in with the awful League of Former Head Girls. Original artist Lissa Treiman returns for this oversized special with 40 pages of story and art!

After spending a dull summer apart, Esther, Daisy, and Susan attend a 3-day music festival that naturally ends in a battle for survival in an apocalyptic quagmire.

The big end-of-year ball is approaching and Daisy is determined to kiss a girl, while Susan and Esther prepare for a summer of difficulty.

McGraw''s new girlfriend is the Anti-Susan, Esther and Ed get into hot water with a money-making scheme, and Daisy has trouble with a professor on an archaeological dig.

Daisy has to draw on new reserves of inner strength after she loses control of a party of prospective students on an open day, while the "lonely, unlovable spinster" Susan tries dating again with disastrous results.

This guide offers advice to inexperienced race directors who wish to host a small 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or Marathon to benefit a charitable organization. The advice contained within is based on my own experience. I ran a lot of races before I ever bit the bullet and directed my own. I thought I knew plenty to make a great race. But I quickly learned just how tough a race director's job is. Hopefully, my experience will help you avoid some mistakes, think of some things you might not have, and host a great race that your runners want to race every year.

Creative tensions and "mildly erotic subcurrents" proliferate as Esther and her Svengali boyfriend battle Susan and Daisy for a £5,000 Film Festival prize.

Esther, Susan, and Daisy start the search for a house to rent for their second year quite late, so their options leave a lot to be desired.

Daisy visits Esther''s hometown to convince her to come back to University, while Susan spends her Easter break far away from her Northampton problems.

In an effort to lift the spirits of her dear friends, Daisy takes the girls camping.

Now an ongoing series! It's Susan's birthday and she receives the greatest gift at all: it's time for the medical students to start cutting up cadavers.

Esther''s old school friend "Big Lindsay" comes to visit with her baby, but watching the kid and being nice to the insatiable party girl begins to wear on everyone.

Susan, Esther, and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends because their dorm rooms were next to each other. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, "personal experimentation," influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of "academia," they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive.

A brutal winter hits Sheffield, but things heat up when Esther has a fling with a faculty member! Daisy probably has a Friday Night Lights reference for this occasion...

A new school year brings a new classmate to Griswalds Grammar School! But he''s a bit strange, and he really, really likes onions. When the whole school suddenly becomes best friends with him, Shauna seems to be the only one left out. It''s up to her to peel back the mystery, one onion layer at a time. Join the team for another thrilling case, full of the cunning wit and high-flying adventure you can only get from John Allison''s BAD MACHINERY.
