Why Won’t My Boobs Grow… and Other Annoyances 

Emma Bishop can’t catch a break. After she wakes up the morning of her big class presentation with a massive zit (please don’t say pimple), she’s sure her life is over. 

​

Emma is also dealing with all the problems of a typical fourteen-year-old girl: a crush who doesn’t notice her, an embarrassing mom, and a changing body she doesn’t quite understand. 

​

Luckily, her best friends, Ruby and Cher, are by her side for fun sleepovers, dealing with bullies, and surviving embarrassing interactions with cute boys.

​

When Connor, the boy Emma is crushing on, starts noticing her, Emma is thrilled… but also confused. Is he going to kiss her? Why is Cher acting so weird? Will Mom stop asking a thousand questions? And, are her boobs ever going to grow? 

​

Why Won’t My Boobs Grow…and Other Annoyances is the first book in the Emma Bishop series exploring the realities of what it’s really like to be a teenager. Friendship, love, embarrassing moments, Emma experiences it all–and isn’t going to leave a detail out.

Dear Boyfriend… and Other High School Dilemmas 

Emma Bishop is ready for a fresh start. She's in high school now, after all, so there's no room for last year’s drama to follow her. She's older and wiser, more confident, and determined to make this her best year yet.

​

In what might be the most exciting development of her life, Emma finally has a boyfriend. Andy is cute and nice and really likes her– what could go wrong? As it turns out, everything. 

​

From sleepovers to high school dances, dreaming of her first boyfriend to having one glued to her side, Emma is excited, nervous, and most of all, confused. It doesn’t stop there though. She finds herself navigating dynamic shifts in her friend group, break-ups and make-ups, sibling relationships, and all the dilemmas that come with being a freshman in high school.

​

Dear Boyfriend… and Other High School Dilemmas is the second book in the Emma Bishop series by Rebecca Garner. These light-hearted, young adult books explore the realities of what it’s really like to be a teenager. Friendship, love, embarrassing moments, Emma experiences it all.

We’ll Never Be Friends… and Other Girlhood Mishaps  

After secretly crushing on him for months, Emma Bishop finally kissed Matt Martinez. Unfortunately, Emma’s ex-boyfriend, Andy (who happens to be Matt’s best friend), caught them in the moment.

​

All Emma’s ever wanted is to be loved, and this could finally be her chance. But will best friends and bullies stand in her way? Will Andy forgive Matt and Emma? Will Matt ever kiss her again? Or will she be alone with her cat forever?

​

Add an annoyingly pretty bully, an early curfew, and an intimidating piece of cotton, and it all feels confusing, complicated, whatever.

​

In the third installment of the Emma Bishop series, Emma is back with more girlhood mishaps from toothy kisses and tampons, to belly laughs and broken hearts.

​ 

These relatable, laugh out loud young adult books explore the realities of what it’s really like to be a teenager. Friendship, love, embarrassing moments, Emma experiences it all–and isn’t going to leave a detail out.
