Paperback

Middlesex order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 27.95 each
Paperback
Author: Jeffrey Eugenides
Lefty and Desdemona must flee the Turks who are invading their crumbling city in the Ottoman Empire, and decide to head for America. What this unusual brother and sister do not realise is that a rare genetic mutation is following them. It secretly travels with them first to Detroit, and then to suburbia, through prohibition and the race riots of 1967. And in the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry-blonde classmate with a gift for acting. The passion that develops between them leads Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls.

Through eight decades — and one unusually awkward adolescence — Jeffrey Eugenides’ long-awaited second novel is a breathtaking vision of the American Dream and a modern fable of crossed bloodlines, immigration, the intricacies of gender, and deep, untidy desire.

Sprout order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Dale Peck
When Sprout and his father move from Long Island to the midst of rural Kansas after the death of his mother, he is sure he will find no friends, no love, no beauty. But friends find him, the strangeness of the landscape fascinates him, and when love shows up in an unexpected place, Sprout realises that Kansas is not quite as empty as he thought it was going to be. An incredible, literary story of a boy who knows he is gay in a the town that seems to have no place for him to hide.
Review: 'Playful and plain-spoken ... at times, hilarious' Financial Times 'A touching tale ... Sprout comes from a long tradition of American writing about alienated teenagers (obvious ancestors are Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caulfield) to which it is a highly readable addition' 3SIXTY

The Shell House order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 19.99 each
Paperback
Author: Linda Newbery
A beautifully written Carnegie-shortlisted novel, with two stories set generations apart. Greg’s interest in a ruined mansion grows as he discovers the events that overwhelmed its inhabitants. His insecurities mirror those of Edmund, who confronts his sexuality and faith during World War One. “50 years ago, it would have caused a critical explosion... new generations of readers still need this type of probing discussion in their fiction — particularly when it comes to a story gripping enough in its own right.” — Independent. For ages 14-plus.

First published 2002.
