A heartwarming and action-packed story of friendship from Norway's answer to Astrid Lindgren.This classic in the making from award-winning author Maria Parr is packed full of laugh-out-loud adventures and paints an honest picture of the highs and lows of friendship and growing up.Dark clouds are looming in Mathildewick Cove. The arrival of a new football coach is putting twelve-year-old Lena's goalkeeping career in doubt. And in the house next door, Trille is wondering how to impress the girl who has just joined his class. The stage is set for a dramatic year ahead. What are Trille and Lena to do when every raft they build sinks, and every message in a bottle they send washes up on the shore at home? As the best friends battle the elements and their own emotions, one thing is for sure: they're not giving up, not if Lena has anything to do with it!

In May 1941 Lena Mukhina was an ordinary teenage girl, living in Leningrad, worrying about her homework and whether Vova - the boy she liked - liked her. Like a good Soviet schoolgirl, she was also diligently learning German, the language of Russia's Nazi ally. And she was keeping a diary, in which she recorded her hopes and dreams. Then, on 22 June 1941, Hitler broke his pact with Stalin and declared war on the Soviet Union.All too soon, Leningrad was besieged and life became a living hell. Lena and her family fought to stay alive; their city was starving and its citizens were dying in their hundreds of thousands. From day to dreadful day, Lena records her experiences: the desperate hunt for food, the bitter cold of the Russian winter and the cruel deaths of those she loved.A truly remarkable account of this most terrible era in modern history, The Diary of Lena Mukhina is the vivid first-hand testimony of a courageous young woman struggling simply to survive.
All Lena wants is to help a stray dog and hang out with her friends, Sanjay, Chelsea and Kai. All her dad wants is to make a deal with his boss.

Seventeen-year-old Lena begins dreaming of a male stranger right after a heart wrenching break-up with her boyfriend. The dream man makes her feel better until she sees him appear and disappear in various places while she is awake. She starts to question her sanity until she meets him, Zenus, an Angel of Truth. On her path to discover why she can see and talk to Zenus, she time travels with him through moonlight to biblical and historical eras learning truths that were never written down by man, experiences astral projections to visit heaven, and endures her conscious colliding with her unconscious. Lena is also led to believe there is a family secret, so she begins her family tree. Finding out one of her ancestors was involved in the fall of Atlantis was not as bad as finding out she is not entirely human. LENA'S MOONLIGHT ingeniously mixes the genres of fantasy, romance, science fiction (alternate history), and a dash of mystery which makes it appealing to a broad audience.
