Dernier Publishing chick-lit for 10-14s
Here are our books by Eleanor Watkins for 10-14-year-old girls - they are such great stories! You can read the first chapters of all our books on our website - follow the links after each book and click on more info :-) All these books are equally suitable for encouraging young people in their faith or to show non-church girls what they are missing! Who will tell them if we don't? A book is such a non-threatening gift; we need to make the most of every opportunity we have, because the time is short.
Beech Bank Girls, Every Girl Has a Story by Eleanor Watkins
Shortlisted for Christian Resources Together Book of the Year Awards, children over 12 category . . . which means that this book is one of the three most popular books in the UK for this age group!
This is the first of the Beech Bank Girls books. Eleanor is such a great author - her 40th book is due for publication soon! This is an immensely readable and truly inspiring series of novels, not hiding from any of the most difficult issues of teenage life.
In this story, six teenage friends draw nearer to God and each other through real life issues in a moving, honest and fun way. Amber, Holly, Willow, Annie, Rachel and Chloe share their laughter, their tears, their hopes, their fears and their secrets with each other and with us. Miracle and party included!
Here are some reviews:
“Really enjoyed it and found it helpful at the same time.” - Claire
“I loved reading about the different girls' lives and how they struggled with different problems at school, at home and with their Christian lives. It also teaches us more about God, like how he knows each and every one of us, he loves us all, listens to us and will help us with everything.” - Emma
“I have really enjoyed reading this book; it was engaging and its cliff hangers pushed me to continue reading on.” - Sade

Beech Bank Girls II, Making a Difference by Eleanor Watkins
The second book in the Beech Bank Girls series. More chick-lit for 10-14s! Not long after Chloe's party (Beech Bank Girls, Every Girl Has A Story), the Beech Bank Girls are back! Holly is in Australia, but Willow, Amber, Chloe, Annie and Rachel discover that they do not have to wait until their gap year to start helping people in need. An interesting hike, a new culture on their doorstep, an emotional night out . . . the girls learn from some tough issues that they can make a difference right where they are and have lots of fun at the same time!
Here are some reviews: “A very exciting, fun to read, really well written and easy to understand book. Looking forward to the next one!” - Taylor
“When the girls get into bad situations or dilemmas, they all get together and pray . . . makes you want to read more and find out what happens next.” - Ellie
“A great story.” - Eleanor

For information on Beech Bank Girls III, Christmas is Coming!, see previous post entitled 'Books for autumn release' :-) I can't wait for this book to arrive. When I first read the manuscript, the word that came to mind was 'inspired'. It really does touch on important issues in a way which is so encouraging - friendships, eating disorders, the true meaning of Christmas to name but three. Eleanor told me that she had prayed for inspiration for this book more than for any other she has ever written. Bearing in mind that this is Eleanor's 40th book, that's saying something. I do truly believe that all three of these books could touch many girls' lives. A wonderful way to show the girls that you love, that it is great to be a Christian!
