Did you know that John Barrowman (of Torchwood fame) has a cameo appearance in New Beginnings? However, there are no aliens involved, as it’s in his guise as a stage show performer that John Barrowman makes his appearance here. So a big thank you goes out from us to John Barrowman and his agent Gavin Barker for agreeing to his walk-on role in Rebecca Emin’s debut novel.

Praise for New Beginnings:

TJ King (8)
“I love the book so much that I just can’t stop thinking about it + can’t wait for the next time I can get back to reading it.”
Eilidh Carlisle (11) on Facebook via her mum, Louise
“Eilidh got her book this morning and started reading it and is so excited, she even asked if you’d written any other books and was gutted to hear you don’t have a huge series.”
Aimee Tennison  (12.5) via Facebook
“Joint first with Jacqueline Wilson.”
“Just read one of the best books ever!”
“It is sooooo goood! I couldn’t put it down.”
Also from adults:

Kate Bodle
“Great story with a strong message! Well done!”
Gay Bosley
“I have just finished reading New Beginnings and really enjoyed it. It might be aimed at children but I found it very readable! What good advice for anyone being bullied. I think Rebecca will have a great future ahead of her if she keeps writing books like that.”
Donna Butler
“My lovely shiny new book arrived today! :-) am already half way through it, it’s one of those books that you really want to keep reading to see what happens next! Unfortunately after nearly 2 hours, I am going to have to leave it and get ready for work tomorrow :-(
Rachel Tennison
“The book was amazing! I started it last night and finished it today, amid smiles, tears and sadness that I had reached the end. I loved the personal feel to it, I know how that poor girl felt, but could understand how the bully felt, you described her so well. I loved the drama twist, suspense and joy at her coming out so well, loved how you tackled the bullying…”
Kathleen Kirkland
“Today I started reading New Beginnings by Rebecca Emin. Finished it in just a few hours. It was fantastic, and I am not just saying that. So well written, you have a talent. I could not begin to write a book for teenagers, I would not have the vocabulary for it. Such a fantastic story about two very important issues in growing up, bullying and confidence building, keep producing them.”
Bridget Smith
“I bought your book and took it away with me to read when I went to Devon 2 weeks ago. It’s a charming read with a good story line and deals so well with the problem of bullying well done you!”

The Green King by Stephanie Parker

The Green King by Stephanie ParkerThe Green King is Stephanie Parker‘s debut novel.

When her parents move from London to a country town on the edge of a massive wood, Charlotte is sad to be leaving her city friends behind. Yet she’s entranced by the spectral image of a green man who seems to metamorphose before her very eyes… Slowly but surely, Charlotte finds herself being inexorably drawn into a magical world of dark and light, good and evil; a world where something mysterious, something wonderful and something terrible is happening in the woods.

Together with her shadowy neighbour – a boy who has spent his life exploring the woods – and another who was inexplicably lost there as a child for a week, the three unearth a terrible secret that threatens to destroy not only the woods but also potentially our whole world; and in exposing the mystery they discover their destinies.
