Twins Lauren and Jamie and their friends Alfie and Eve are amazed to discover that the potions they’ve been making in the garden might actually be magic. They’re even more amazed when they meet tiny, pink Professor Mixer and he thinks they may be good enough to join the Professional Organisation of Outstanding Potioneers. The four friends have to work really hard to perfect their recipe and prove that it works but will they succeed when they face their final test?

[Young Adult Fiction (12-17)]People expect extraordinary things from a girl named Comet. That she'll be effortlessly cool and light up a room the way a comet blazes across the sky. But from the shyness that makes her book-character friends more appealing than real people to the parents whose indifference hurts more than an open wound, Comet has never wanted to be the center of attention. She can't wait to graduate from her high school in Edinburgh, Scotland, where the only place she ever feels truly herself is on her anonymous poetry blog. But surely that will change once she leaves to attend university somewhere far, far away. When new student Tobias King blazes in from America and shakes up the school, Comet thinks she's got the bad boy figured out. Until they're thrown together for a class assignment and begin to form an unlikely connection. Everything shifts in Comet's ordinary world. Tobias has a dark past and runs with a tough crowd -- and none of them are happy about his interest in Comet. Targeted by bullies and thrown into the spotlight, Comet and Tobias can go their separate waysor take a risk on something extraordinary.
