The Rebound

After missing his eagerly awaited trial to play for the Under Sixteens Firsts, fourteen-year-old Harry Portelli has no choice but to play with the worst training team in the school. The Redbacks are a mess. They can't pass. They can't shoot. They can't win. This is not the future either Harry or his dad imagined. Harry has to dig deep to work out what basketball means to him and, with the help of surprising new friendships, he rediscovers his love for the sport as the Redbacks start to play like a team. And then the school arranges a derby, the Redbacks against the Firsts, and Harry's heart sinks - the Redbacks are bound to be destroyed. But is winning all that matters? Harry learns that sometimes the sweetest shot is the one you get on the rebound. A fast-paced feel-good story guaranteed to capture the imagination of readers of all levels by the bestselling author of Liz Watson's Diary of a Netball Star and Sam Kerr's Kicking Goals. Perfect for: - Readers 10+ who love uplifting stories about sport and overcoming the odds - Kids who loved reading series fiction like Patty Mills' Game Day and Sam Kerr's Kicking Goals and are ready for the next level - Parents, teachers and librarians seeking shorter fast-paced books that appeal to less confident readers - Middle-grade readers who love Ted Lasso 'An excellent text for educators to explore themes of teamwork, resilience and integrity with students. Recommended for young NBL/NBA fans and any young person with a competitive, sporty streak.'

A smokin' hot new standalone romance fromNew York Timesbestseller, Kendall Ryan. My coach hates me, and our team captain now watches my every move, so that's super fun. Which is why I'm trying something new-being a good guy. It might not be what I'm known for, but I'll try anything once. The part of this that's not an act? Helping out my new neighbor Kinley. She's beautiful, funny and newly single. (Score!) There's just one problem.She's also the team captain's sister. There are rules about this kind of thing. But rules were made to be broken. Contents include: A dreamy AF hero, a bad boy trying to be good, a good girl who likes him naughty, oh, and abun in the oven.

A newly single girl. A tall dark handsome stranger. What could go wrong? It's 7 a.m. on a Monday morning and Abby Reynolds isn't where she wants to be. She wants to be in her beautiful loft apartment in Manhattan, drinking a coffee with her fiancé. Instead, she's heading back to the childhood home in rural Ireland she swore she'd never return to, with some big old secrets. Namely that she's suddenly found herself unemployed, homeless, and absolutely 100% single. She's feeling all out of luck. Until the first person she meets after she touches down is an absurdly hot guy called Luke, who offers her a lift home. Gazing deep into his sparkling emerald-green eyes, Abby knows instantly that he's exactly what she needs to take her mind off everything. The perfect rebound. It's a flawless plan. Until the next day, when Abby realizes who he actually is. Not just a stranger. He is, in fact, Luke Bailey, aka the boy next door. Luke Bailey who-so help her God-she's pretty sure she once shared baths with, back when they were kids. Not that she can allow herself to imagine him in a bath now, not without blushing from head to foot. And judging by the smirk on his face, the same Luke Bailey who's known exactly who she was the whole time... And who, like everyone in the village, still thinks she's a high-flying New Yorker... who's getting married next year. Abby is certain getting under Luke will help her get over her ex. But the truth is stopping her. Can she admit to everyone back home that she's single and has lost everything? Because, if she wants the boy next door, she may just have to... The perfect feel-good romantic comedy that will make you laugh until you cry and fall completely in love. Fans of Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes, and Emily Henry won't be able to put this down! Readers are completely obsessed with The Rebound: 'OMG this book was just what I needed... Kept me turning the pages and reading late into the night... It was like drinking a great big warm mug of hot chocolate, I just loved it.' Reading time at the zoo ¿¿¿¿¿ 'Had me addicted from page one! I was laughing, crying and swooning from start to finish!... This book has something for everyone - great friendships, family reconciliations and a romance to sweep you off your feet!... Honestly, if Catherine Walsh wrote a menu I'd still read it and rate it five stars I love her storytelling that much!' Ateachersguidetoreading ¿¿¿¿¿ 'I really love this book... The HUMOUR!!! The perfect amount of sarcasm, wit, and darkness. Genuinely laughing out loud while reading... Perfect... Honestly, I just love this book. New instant fav - and the perfect read!' Goodreads reviewer ¿¿¿¿¿ 'To say I devoured this book is an understatement... I love love love that it's set in a small town in Ireland... A perfect recipe for swooning... I read this book right after The Hating Game when I was looking for something to fill the void and it did just that.' @_bookally_ ¿¿¿¿¿
