Aloha! I'm Talullah Bird - or Tatty, or Lu. But mostly people call me Lula. So, my big news is...I've finally been kissed. Eeeee! I have an actual, factual boyfriend! At least, I thought I did. But things with the perfect boy aren't going to plan - thanks to his journo gal pal, Evil Jazz. And that's not all. Hoooo no. In a few days I've got to dance the hula in public, put a stop to some seriously serious criminal activity, win a race, and stop Dad from shaming me totally with his weirdiness. Frikkly frik! Where is my normal life? Huh? Where? Please, someone, tell me I'm not jinxed forever...Laugh-out-loud funny and gorgeously romantic, Lula Does the Hula is the perfect summer read.

Laugh-out-loud funny and gorgeously romantic, Kisses for Lula is the perfect book for teenage girls.

Lula Bird is gorgeous, funny and dreading her birthday because you can't turn 16 if you've never been kissed . . . So why does every boy in Hambledon run a mile the second she bats her eyelids? The fact is, they fear for their lives. Rumour has it Lula's been jinxed! And it's not as if that's her only problem: Lula thinks she has a stalker, her dad keeps sneaking out at night with a lady's handbag, and a mysterious theft is threatening to bring the town to its knees!

Join a new, kooky teen heroine on her first adventure and get the feel-good factor from her gloriously funny antics, romantic entanglements and mystery.

With the laugh-out-loud qualities of Louise Rennison, the girl appeal of Meg Cabot and the warmth of Jacqueline Wilson, Samantha Mackintosh’s romance books for teens are a joy to read.
