<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThere comes a moment in every young person\u2019s 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\u2019t always have easy answers.<\/p>\n
That moment arrives for Leeza in Leeza McAuliffe is Branching Out<\/strong> by Nicky Bond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n From 3rd\u201312th August<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n Turning thirteen should feel like becoming a grown-up\u2014but the adults around Leeza don\u2019t quite agree. Between family tensions, long-held secrets, school pressures and the excitement (and confusion) of a first crush, she\u2019s learning that growing up isn\u2019t about having all the answers. It\u2019s about finding the courage to face whatever comes next.<\/p>\n Warm, relatable and full of heart, Leeza McAuliffe is Branching Out<\/strong> is a story about family, friendship, resilience and discovering who you are when life doesn\u2019t go quite to plan. It\u2019s the perfect read for fans of thoughtful middle grade and younger YA fiction.<\/p>\n Leeza is turning thirteen. That\u2019s grown up, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n Annoyingly, the real grown-ups don\u2019t agree. Mum is forever on her back, Cait\u2019s personality change is winding everyone up, and even Grandma\u2019s been keeping secrets.<\/p>\n Between her eldest-daughter responsibilities, being a (mostly) conscientious student, and spending time with her bestie, Jake, Leeza\u2019s got a lot going on. Teenage life isn\u2019t easy. Still, there are questions to ask and mysteries to solve, a school holiday she can\u2019t afford, and the fizz of her first crush.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 3rd August<\/strong><\/p>\n 4th August<\/strong><\/p>\n 5th August<\/strong><\/p>\n 6th August<\/strong><\/p>\n 7th August<\/strong><\/p>\n 8th August<\/strong><\/p>\n 9th August<\/strong><\/p>\n 10th August<\/strong><\/p>\n 11th August<\/strong><\/p>\n 12th August<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udcd6 Buy your copy:<\/strong> https:\/\/mybook.to\/vBrkScA<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udcda Add it to your Goodreads TBR<\/strong><\/p>\n We hope you\u2019ll join us throughout the tour as our fantastic Bookstagrammers share their honest thoughts on Leeza\u2019s unforgettable journey.
