'Fifteen-year-old Meena has given up all hope of ever escaping the brothel. For three years she’s locked away her memories – of home, of her childhood friend, of what it means to hope. But when a botched police raid offers her a chance at freedom, Meena must face the truth about her past. As she attempts to piece her life back together, the memories she has buried deep inside begin to resurface. Meena realises escaping the brothel is only the beginning of what it means to be free. Can she face the truth in her memories? Can she return to Nepal if it means returning alone? Or will she face the red-light district one last time? Sometimes it’s ourselves we need to trust again…' (Source: Publisher's blurb)

'Attention Campers! Seeking maximum adventure? Looking for maximum fun? You need CAMP MAX!

'Tania’s all set to go on camp! She’s planned which cabin she’ll be in, what snacks to take, she’s even arranged for her best friend, Emily, to come too.

'There’s one small problem though: Emily’s parents gave away the money that would have bought her ticket.

'Luckily the town talent show offers Camp Tickets as a prize – all they have to do is win one for Emily. But even as they rehearse to win, no one’s expecting Tania’s own ticket to go missing. And when it does, Tania knows she’s going to need more than just talent to avert maximum disaster.

'Because some things are worth more than a camp ticket, and friendship is one of them.'
