Welcome to Lemony's summer: Lights, camera, action! My name's Lemony, I'm nearly 15, and this is my journal. Things I like: my best friend Ro, Nick Collins, chinchillas, reading and hanging out with friends. Things I DON'T like: my glasses, the way I talk too fast around boys ... I'm too tall and too geeky, and I spend FAR too much time sitting around dreaming my life away. But with a movie being filmed in town, it looks like real life might be getting just as exciting as daydreams – even if they only hire me to make cups of tea while my cool friends get to swan around in front of the camera. Anyway, Ro, my brother Paul and I are going to have fun on the film set – as long as boring Stephen Brown doesn't try to hang out with us...

The last person Kenna Dean had imagined teaming up with was her infuriating boss, Regan Cole. But they had a common goal–to break up the relationship between Regan's brother, Denny, and his latest girlfriend. Regan may have had his own reasons for wanting to split up the couple, but Kenna had made hers perfectly clear–she wanted Denny. Or so she'd thought. But as Kenna and Regan put their scheme into action, things begin to backfire on them. And what had started out as an unlikely alliance was suddenly promising them more than they'd ever anticipated!

De armlastige ouders van Diamond, geboren als Ellen-Jane Potts, hadden liever een sterke, gezonde zoon, in plaats van een meisje met een talent voor acrobatiek. Haar vader verkoopt haar daarom aan een circus waar het leven hard is. Vanaf 10 jaar.

By the age of nine, I will have lived in more than a dozen countries, on five continents, under six assumed identities. I’ll know how a document is forged, how to withstand an interrogation, and most important, how to disappear . . . To the young Cheryl Diamond, life felt like one big adventure, whether she was hurtling down the Himalayas in a rickety car or mingling with underworld fixers. Her family appeared to be an unbreakable gang of five. One day they were in Australia, the next in South Africa, the pattern repeating as they crossed continents, changed identities, and erased their pasts. What Diamond didn’t yet know was that she was born into a family of outlaws fleeing from the highest international law enforcement agencies, a family with secrets that would eventually catch up to all of them. By the time she was in her teens, Diamond had lived dozens of lives and lies, but as she grew older, love and trust turned to fear and violence, and her family—the only people she had in the world—began to unravel. She started to realize that her life itself might be a big con, and the people she loved, the most dangerous of all. With no way out and her identity burned so often that she had no proof she even existed, all that was left was a girl from nowhere. Surviving would require her to escape, and to do so Diamond would have to unlearn all the rules she grew up with. Wild, heartbreaking, and often unexpectedly funny, Nowhere Girl is an impossible-to-believe true story of self-discovery and triumph.
