When Rory offers Zak a chance to go to Whitby Gothfest for free there had to be a catch and the catch was Trixiebell Heartswoon! Well the real catch was that Zak's sister, Janey, Rory's girlfriend, thought that Trixie should go to the ball which was only the start of it! Can Zak pull it off and exactly how far is he prepared to go to attend the festival?

Missing Cousins, fashion shows, the arrival of old friends, starting college and then the big trip to Canada - our heroine never has a dull moment! This 23rd volume of the life and times of Gaby Bond will keep you gripped right up to the final paragraph!

some stuff

Drew is just an ordinary thirteen year old. Well perhaps not that ordinary. The girls challenge him to wear an anime costume to the Easter dance, however they forgot to mention that he'd be going as a girl! Enter Gaby! First it was his friends, then it's his family - everyone seems to want Gaby around except Drew. And when perfect strangers think he's a girl, well the lad's got problems! Can he 'kill' Gaby? Or will he get dragged ever deeper into girldom? Every copy of Gaby will help support kids with gender issues through the Mermaids charity. 2nd Edition with revisions.

With the family moving to Germany things for young Bond get a bit interesting. Bits is a collection of short vignettes covering the first few months of the Bonds time in Germany - does Gaby make an appearance? you better believe it!Since the First Edition hit the presses back in 2008 a further twenty volumes of Gaby have seen the light of day along with countless shorts and fanfics based around our hapless hero and his/her friends.As the plot has developed, one or two inconsistences have crept in or been brought to light which hopefully have been corrected in this volume. This has meant a few passages have been changed, a name here, syntax there along with a host of missing punctuation and grammatical errors which escaped the First Edition editing. Of course, all the original ilustration is included.This volume is written in two languages, English and German and whilst I had thought of doing all the German conversation in that language it was hardly practical! A compromise was needed so you will find some passages in German, generally where interaction with non-core characters occurs. However a large amount of conversation takes place in German so to denote this you will find those interactions in a lighter type face. I hope you enjoy reading this and look forward to seeing you all in volume 6!It was never the intention to rewrite the volume and you'll find the general flow unchanged. However I hope that this Second Edition is a smoother read and that you'll enjoy this re-edited version.
