Description

Lia! An Dialann Rúnda

Lia is a sweet young teenager living with her single mum in a flat in the city. They’re both great friends, but her mum is always working on her computer or playing silly video games – and she never gets to meet anybody new. So when an eligible bachelor moves in next door, Lia puts her plan in place to get her mother a love interest. But what about Lia herself? She’s got her eye on a cute boy who lives over the road… but urgh! He picks his nose!

The author, Julien Neel, won the Youth Award at the 2005 Angoulême Comics Festival for this book, portraying the ups and downs, the angst and pleasures of teenage life in a heartwarming diary of stories for Young Adults.

Lia! Samhradh, Samhradh

Lia and her mum go to spend their holidays with Mamó, her cranky granny who lives out in the country. She’s a difficult person to get on with, but despite everything, she is Mamó, and that’s why she’s got to be loved, respected… and tolerated!

Lia’s mum finds some old boyfriends hanging around the village, but it’s so difficult to reignite extinguished flames, especially as Ruaidhrí, the handsome neighbour back in town, is always on her mind. And will Lia herself, seemingly abandoned by Tristan, fall for a crooner who may, or may not be, Mr. Right?

Lia! Briste Bánaithe

Things are on the up for Lia’s Mam and Ruaidhrí. On top of that, her Mam’s novel is getting published, so she’s over the moon. But for Lia herself, a new school year is about to begin, and things aren’t that easy as she goes back to class. There’s a bit of chaos on the other side of the street where the council’s pulling down Tristan’s old home and turning it into a depot for old buses. To make things worse, Lia has fallen out with her childhood bezzie Móna, but then there’s a new cool classmate on the scene… making life so awkward when you’re 13!
