The Official Rules of the Teashop Girls

1. Teashop girls are best friends forever.

2. Tea is held every week, no matter what.

3. All tea and scones must be split equally at all times.

Annie, Genna, and Zoe have been hanging out at the Steeping Leaf since elementary school. The Teashop Girls do everything together -- at least they used to. With the end of eighth grade approaching, Genna's too busy with theater, Zoe's always at tennis, and Annie feels totally left out. What happened to tea every week, no matter what?

When Annie convinces her grandmother to give her a job as a barista at the Leaf, things begin to look up. In between whipping up chai lattes for customers, and attempting to catch the attention of her Barista Boy crush, Annie is finally beginning to feel as grown-up as her best friends. But an eviction notice spells trouble for the Leaf and unless they can turn the business around, the teashop will have to close its doors forever.

Fresh, honest, and sweet, Laura Schaefer's debut novel is sure to resonate with readers everywhere..

Burma, where George Orwell worked as an official in the Imperial police force, is currently ruled by one of the oldest and most brutal military dictatorships in the world. Around the country posters promise to 'crush all internal and external destructive elements as the common enemy', and a vast network of military intelligence ensures no one says or does anything to threaten the regime. In short, George Orwell's 'Big Brother' is alive and well in Burma. Over the course of a year, Emma Larkin visited the places where Orwell lived, to meet the people who live there today. Starting in the former royal city of Mandalay, she travelled through the moody delta regions on the edge of the Bay of Bengal, to the mildewed splendour of the old port town Moulmein, and ending her journey in the mountains of the far north, in the forgotten town Orwell used as the setting for Burmese Days. The book journeys into the Orwellian land Burma's ruling generals have created, a place in which reality is distorted by censorship and truth is a dangerous commodity. Secret Histories uncovers the reality of life inside this secretive, totalitarian state. Emma Larkin presents a side to the country that the military government does not want revealed: a hidden world that can be found only in whispered conversations, covered books and the potent rumours wafting like vapours through the country's teashops..

The twenty circular walks in this book explore the area's varied landscape: from mellow stone villages in the Cotswolds; the low-lying Somerset Levels; and the gorges and potholes of the Mendip Hills; to the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel; and the rich pastoral countryside of Wiltshire. There is also Wells, with its magnificent cathedral and Bishop's Palace; Bath and the River Avon; the National Trust village of Lacock; and the ingenious staircase of 16 locks at Caen Hill on the Kennet and Avon Canal. In addition, there is Clevedon, with its Victorian pier and links with Coleridge, Tennyson and Thackeray; the spectacular limestone cliffs of both Cheddar Gorge and the Rock of Ages; historic Malmesbury; and mystical Glastonbury with its prominent Tor. The recommended teashops, too, come in all varieties. They include an old tollhouse, a garden centre; a lock-keeper's dwelling; the site of a former malthouse; a lakeside cafe; a traditional farmhouse; a former lengthman's cottage; and Sally Lunn's, the oldest house in Bath. Each walk is carefully described and is accompanied by a sketch map of the route. There are details on how to get to the start, where to park and notes on the places of interest en route. Practical information on the teashops, including their opening times, regular menus and telephone numbers is also provided..
