By night she performs spoken-word poetry with her best friend and former girlfriend, Bobbi. When the pair befriend Melissa, an established journalist, and her actor husband Nick, Frances is drawn into an affair and a dazzling adult world of parties, holidays and complicated loyalties. It is a wry, incisive debut about art, power, jealousy and the shifting boundaries of friendship and desire. In \u003cem\u003eNormal People\u003c\/em\u003e, Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland but move in very different social circles. A quiet, electric connection binds them, and over years, from school to university and beyond, they circle one another through love, misunderstanding and change. Tender and precise, it is a profound study of how two people can shape and save each other. Together these novels showcase Rooney's gift for dialogue and her clear-eyed compassion, making the set ideal for book clubs, students and anyone who loves character-driven contemporary fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo acclaimed Sally Rooney novels in one brand-new paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Normal People, the basis for the award-winning BBC\/Hulu series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for book clubs, students and lovers of literary fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for birthdays, graduations or \"just because\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperbacks, ideal for travel, commuting and bedside reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSally Rooney was born in 1987 in County Mayo and lives in Ireland.

This complete twelve-book collection gathers Betty G. Birney's much-loved series into one brand-new paperback set, ideal for growing readers aged seven to nine. From baffling mysteries and summer holidays to springtime surprises and festive fun, Humphrey helps his human friends solve problems, make friends and learn kind, gentle lessons. Warm, funny and genuinely heartwarming, these short-chapter stories build reading confidence while championing empathy, curiosity and community spirit – the perfect bridge from picture books to longer chapter fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNarrated by Humphrey himself, every story blends humour, heart and gentle life lessons as the word-collecting hamster observes daily life in Mrs Brisbane's classroom at Longfellow School. Humphrey adores his humans, hoards wonderful new words and feels a strong sense of responsibility to help everyone around him. Thanks to a cleverly unlocked cage door, he slips out at night to gather clues, cheer up shy classmates and quietly put things right – usually without anyone realising it was him. Across these twelve titles he takes a daring voyage on Potter's Pond, survives a wild summer holiday, welcomes fellow class pet Og the Frog, untangles puzzling mysteries, keeps track of swirling secrets and celebrates Christmas and spring with the whole school. With short chapters, an irresistibly appealing narrator and plenty of repeat-after-me fun, the series is a firm favourite of parents, teachers and literacy specialists for encouraging independent reading. Each paperback works beautifully as a standalone read, yet together they deliver months of rewarding, laugh-out-loud storytelling. The books gently explore friendship, kindness, problem solving and belonging, giving young readers characters they recognise and situations they care about. Perfect for bedtime sharing or confident solo reading, this collection keeps children turning pages while quietly nurturing empathy, vocabulary and a genuine love of books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 12-book Humphrey collection – every title together in one brand-new paperback set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for confident readers aged 7-9 and wonderful for reading aloud.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort chapters and a warm, funny narrator keep reluctant readers engaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThemes of friendship, empathy, responsibility and kindness in every story.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight paperbacks – easy for small hands, backpacks and library shelves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for birthdays, Christmas or a classroom reading corner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBetty G.
