Mariana Gosnell takes the reader along on her extraordinary voyage across the U.S. in her single-engine Luscombe Silvaire, Zero Three Bravo. Enticed by the ribbon of sky that she could see from her Manhattan office window, she took a leave of absence from her job and made a three-month solo flight, navigating by use of landmarks and landing in America's little-known, back-country airports. She traveled south from her home airport of Spring Valley, New York, down to North Carolina and Georgia, west across Texas to Los Angeles and north to San Francisco, and then east over the Rockies, the plains, and the farms of the Midwest until she was back home.
Most high school boys would love to be pursued by beautiful girls...but Yukinari Sasaki is not one of them. After years of being mistreated by the girls in his school, Yukinari has developed a fear of women that causes him to break out in hives whenever a girl touches him! The only girl who doesn't give Yukinari hives is Miharu, a strange alien from the planet Siren. However, Risa--an even stranger, magical girl from Earth--believes that Yukinari is the man of her destiny! When bizarre alien powers meet weird Earth magic, almost anything can happen--and does! In this volume, Yukinari will have to face a multiplicity of Miharus, an overabundance of aliens, and just one Risa (which is still way too many.) So much stress may make the young female-phobic wish he were someone else...until it actually happens! -- VIZ Media

The perfect gift for the Spice Girls fan in your life! ‘Lauren Bravo is one of my very favourite writers.’ Dolly Alderton 'A joyous and energetic celebration of girlhood, friendship and pop culture. If you have ever sung into the lid of a can of Impulse body spray, you need to read this.' Daisy Buchanan The words 'girl power' conjure vivid memories of short skirts and platform boots. But it wasn't just about the look, it was about feminism. The Spice Girls gave a generation their first glimpse of the power of friendship, of staying true to yourself, of sheer bloody-mindedness. And the girl power generation went on to kick-start a new conversation around gender equality. We may have grown up asking What Would the Spice Girls Do?, but their particular brand of feminism is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago – we still need that fun and fearlessness, we still need accessible and all-embracing equality... we still need a zig-a-zig-ah. ‘The Spice Girls’ arrival on the pop scene marked the gateway to a modern form of feminism, all dressed up as a riotously good time.’ Stylist As featured in Elle magazine's Best Feminist Gift Books
