The Love Report Volume 2 - Hardcover

by Beka (Author), Maya (Illustrator)

In this second book in the addictive graphic novel series for tweens, Grace and Lola uncover more truths about romance and friendship at home, at school, and on an island holiday.

BFFs Grace and Lola are back in volume two of The Love Report. Grace tries to adjust to her parents' split, but dividing her time between two homes is no fun; Lola and Grace help Adele find a place to stay-an old factory-to escape her evil stepmother; and Lola wants to help Felicity after one of the boys begins harassing her, but it's not easy. Summer comes just in time, and the change of season brings the girls and Adele to the island of Sardinia, where they continue to discover the ins and outs of love and romance far from home and school.
