Thirteen Changes Everything…

There comes a moment in every young person’s life when childhood begins to fade and the world suddenly feels a little more complicated. New responsibilities appear, friendships evolve, family relationships change, and questions arise that don’t always have easy answers.

That moment arrives for Leeza in Leeza McAuliffe is Branching Out by Nicky Bond.

From 3rd–12th August, Love Books Tours is delighted to be sharing this touching YA coming-of-age novel as our reviewers follow Leeza through a year filled with change, discovery and unexpected challenges.

Turning thirteen should feel like becoming a grown-up—but the adults around Leeza don’t quite agree. Between family tensions, long-held secrets, school pressures and the excitement (and confusion) of a first crush, she’s learning that growing up isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about finding the courage to face whatever comes next.

Warm, relatable and full of heart, Leeza McAuliffe is Branching Out is a story about family, friendship, resilience and discovering who you are when life doesn’t go quite to plan. It’s the perfect read for fans of thoughtful middle grade and younger YA fiction.

Leeza is turning thirteen. That’s grown up, right?

Annoyingly, the real grown-ups don’t agree. Mum is forever on her back, Cait’s personality change is winding everyone up, and even Grandma’s been keeping secrets.

Between her eldest-daughter responsibilities, being a (mostly) conscientious student, and spending time with her bestie, Jake, Leeza’s got a lot going on. Teenage life isn’t easy. Still, there are questions to ask and mysteries to solve, a school holiday she can’t afford, and the fizz of her first crush.

As the year pans out in the most surprising of ways, Leeza learns she needs to be brave, take control, and make the best of whatever gets thrown her way.
