BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
"Maybe, if she worked really hard, Patti thought, maybe if she just had a chance to be alone for a while, she would feel better. Get her life back to where it used to be before... But... but that was a kind of running away, too, wasn't it? How much running could a person do? Surely you had to just get on with a problem sometime!"In this third book of the Patti Stories, Patti, who is twelve now, is faced with a difficult problem in the person of her friend Joan. This isn't the first time she has found Joan perplexing, annoying, and just plain unacceptable, but this time the Joan dilemma has moved much too close - into Patti's bedroom, to be exact!
