A timeless classic. Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services – as a burglar – on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon.

Bilbo’s life is never to be the same again. Seldom has any book been so widely read and loved as J. R.R.

Tolkien’s classic tale, ‘The Hobbit’. Since its first publication in 1937 it has remained in print to delight each new generation of readers all over the world, and its hero, Bilbo Baggins, has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of fiction.

Perfect for fans of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and The Kissing Booth. One girl. Two boys.

The biggest decision of her life . . .

Just when Isabel thinks she had everything mapped out, life proves that when it comes to love, you can never have all the answers . . .

Isabel has only ever loved two boys, brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. She’s grown up with them, and can’t imagine life without them. One broke her heart, the other made her happier than she ever thought she’d be.

But each boy is keeping a secret from her, and this summer she must choose between them, once and for all. Which brother will it be?

And the summer that changed everything . . .

Every year Isabel spends a perfect summer at her favourite place in the world – the Fisher family’s beach house. It has everything a girl could want: a swimming pool, a private stretch of sandy beach… and two (very cute) brothers:Unavailable, aloof Conrad – who she’s been in love with foreverFriendly, relaxed Jeremiah- the only one who’s ever really paid her any attention.

But this year something is different. This year, the boys seem to really notice Isabel for the first time. It’s going to be an amazing summer – and one she’ll never forget .
