And so we come to the end my Wee Readers – not with a bang or a whimper, but a playlist. To try something new I’m going to let you get a glimpse of this playlist – the first five songs to be precise – before inevitably pressuring you to click through to the whole thing through the link at the bottom of the post.

1. You Will be Found by Ben Platt

As one of the final songs in the Musical “Dear Evan Hansen” – a show that deals with teenage mental health, although admittedly of a different variety- this felt like the perfect song to open our Bubbles Galore playlist.

2. Not While I’m Around by Barbra Streisand

Huh, two for two with Musical songs. I felt this song perfectly encapsulated Bubbles’ feeling of protectiveness towards those she loves, and the deep seeded fear that something terrible was going to happen to them.

3. We are Family by Sister Sledge

A song meant to emphasise the love Bubbles holds for her younger sister … and her mother … but the sister felt like the relationship that was the most pertinent to the plot.

4. My Favourite Things by Julie Andrews

Sometimes a girl just wants to be a bit random, and shouldn’t we be allowed to do that.

5. Boring by Lisa Pac

For Obvious reasons.

And now onto the Playlist ….

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Bubbles Galore”

Bubbles: Dancing Through History

It’s going to be the most boring year of her life. That’s what Bubbles has decided. This, her second year at the castle school, will involve no naked dancing, or television appearances. No fires in stone circles. No meltdowns. No hospital stays. You know, not like last year.

As she walks up the tree-lined drive towards the castle, she is immediately surrounded by TV reporters. Next she encounters the enigmatic and charming new boy, American student Aiden, and finds herself in an instalove situation. Being cast as the lead in a historical documentary is altogether too exciting and fun, as are the night-time visits to caves and underground chambers.

As Bubbles navigates her difficult home life, the complexities of her mental health and various intense experiences at the castle, she struggles to maintain equilibrium.

Will she be able to find balance amidst the chaos, or will her carefully laid ‘boring’ plan unravel completely?

Dive into this captivating coming-of-age tale filled with drama, romance, and self-discovery.
