What is it about men that drives women to distraction? Could it be the way they flick to the footie results while you're trying to watch your favourite television programme? Is it their dogged inability to admit that they might — just might — be wrong? Or is it the infuriating way that they can meticulously order and maintain comprehensive record collections but can't quite find the time to rinse the sink after shaving? From unsightly splayed legs and headache-inducing snoring to the bathroom blight of poorly positioned pee and the horrors of man-flu, “Moan About Men” is a brilliantly funny take on all the things men do that make women weep with frustration — and also with mirth. In an amusing and all-encompassing rant, this is a chance to get it off your chest and dare to share in a life-affirming moan about men.

The second exhilarating novel in bestselling novelist James Patterson's first teen series. It's 24 hours since Max Ride and her fellow bird-kids escaped the New York Institute, and they're still on the run. But the six companions — 98% human, 2% bird — came away with some vital information. If they can decode the garbled words and numbers, perhaps they'll find out where their parents are. There's a lot of trouble ahead for Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman and Angel — not to mention Total, the talking dog. Their enemies, the fearsome Erasers, have acquired a new skill — they too can now fly. After an air-battle, Fang ends up in hospital. The FBI track down the flock, who've become more visible than they ever wanted to be. They even end up going to school! But that doesn't quite fit in with searching for parents, or with what the insistent Voice in Max's head keeps reminding her — that her mission is 'to save the world'.
