Feeling Sorry for Celia is a hilariously candid novel that captures the roller coaster ride of being a teenager. Written entirely in the form of letters, messages, postcards, and bizarre missives from imaginary organizations, the book delves into the life of Elizabeth Clarry, whose existence is anything but simple.

Her best friend, Celia, has a habit of disappearing, her father who was absent has now reappeared, and her communication with her mother relies solely on wacky notes left on the fridge. To add to her confusion, Elizabeth's English teacher is determined to revive the art of letter writing, leading to a Complete and Utter Stranger knowing more about her than anyone else.

Elizabeth is on the brink of numerous changes. She might lose her best friend but could find an incredible new one, share a kiss with the sexiest guy alive, and even participate in a marathon. The story goes to show that a lot can happen in the time it takes to write a letter.

Feeling Sorry for Celia is not just a story about teenage life; it sharply captures the essence of female friendship and the moments of bonding and separation that come with growing up. Jaclyn Moriarty's debut is as much fun as it is poignant, offering a vivid reminder of the highs and lows of adolescence.

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, Terry Pratchett's first young-adult novel set in the enchanting Discworld, offers a delightful twist on the classic Pied Piper tale. At the heart of this adventure is Maurice, a cunning talking cat, and his band of unusually intelligent rats, who have names as unique as Big Savings, Nourishing, and Dangerous Beans. Together with a simple yet clever lad named Keith, they concoct a moneymaking scheme that involves infesting towns with their rat gang, only to later offer their "services" to rid the town of the problem for a fee.

Their plan seems foolproof until they encounter the town of Bad Blintz, which already has a rat problem of its own, complicated further by the presence of a young girl named Malicia, who possesses a wild imagination and a talent for finding trouble. Underneath the town lies a deadly maze of traps and poisons, and even more horrifying, a monster that not even Malicia could have envisioned.

While filled with Pratchett's trademark wit and humor, the story also explores darker undertones, making it a profoundly engaging read for young adults and older fans of the Discworld series alike.
