Book Blurb:
The Sunday Times bestseller returns for a sixth book! Alfie and his mischievous kitten George are back for more adventures – this time with a puppy in tow…
At Christmas time we all need a friend…
Alfie and his kitten, George, have always known that a human is for life and not just for Christmas. So when George learns that one of the residents of Edgar Road has been taken into hospital, he realises it’s up to him to provide some comfort at this difficult time of year.
The only problem is that they now have a little puppy in tow – Pickles the Pug, who is convinced he can be a cat if only he sticks with his new found friends.
As George tries to do everything he can to make the world – and its humans – happier, Alfie struggles to keep Pickles in check and out of trouble. Because even the best laid plans can be destroyed by a well-meaning – but mischievous – little puppy…
Join Alfie, George – and now Pickles – as they come to the rescue of some lonely souls. The perfect read for fans of James Bowen from the Sunday Times bestseller.

Book 1 Blurb:
THE RECORD-BREAKING NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER FROM THE UK'S BESTSELLING NON-FICTION AUTHOR.
Discover all the weird and wonderful things that go on inside your body with Adam Kay. Covers key stage 2 / 3 human biology syllabus (in a slightly repulsive way).
Do you ever think about your body and how it all works? Like really properly think about it? The human body is extraordinary and fascinating and, well . . . pretty weird. Yours is weird, mine is weird, your maths teacher's is even weirder.
This book is going to tell you what's actually going on in there, and answer the really important questions, like:
Are bogeys safe to eat? Look, if your nose is going to all that effort of creating a snack, the least we can do is check out its nutritional value. (Yes, they're safe. Chew away!)
And how much of your life will you spend on the toilet? About a year - so bring a good book. (I recommend this one.)
So sit back, relax, put on some rubber gloves, and let a doctor take you on a poo (and puke) filled tour of your insides. Welcome to Kay's Anatomy*.
*a fancy word for your body. See, you're learning already.
Book 2 Blurb:
'Read this book and you're virtually a qualified doctor! Educational and entertaining - it should be on the national curriculum!'- Harry Hill
The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked.
It's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. (Unfortunately that's no longer a thing - sorry.)
You'll get answers to questions like:
Why did patients gargle with wee?
How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages?
What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum.)
If you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body!
'An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed'
'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times
Book 3 Blurb:
KAY'S BRILLIANT BRAINS is a mini book written and illustrated for World Book Day 2023 by the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker. It's a hilarious celebration of the world's most ingenious geniuses and all that their
brilliant brains achieved.
One hundred billion people have lived on earth. Unfortunately, this book would be too heavy if it talked about them all, so it's about ten of them.
You'll meet Amelia Earhart, who flew across a huge ocean in a tiny plane, back in the days when planes were basically made out of old bits of wood (and worst of all, they didn't have in-flight movies) and Thomas Edison, who invented light bulbs and movie cameras (but only went to school until he was twelve). Plus a whole bunch more other brilliant people with brilliant brains who woke up one day and thought 'Oh, I've got an idea . . . !' and changed the world forever.
'Very funny - this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics' Sunday Express

The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker.
This is the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy. The story follows Amy on her funny, gooey and anatomically-accurate adventure through the human body as she discovers lots of facts about digestion. (It's fair to say that parents might learn a little bit too.)

Maria Oliver is a Hertfordshire based yoga teacher and member of the British Wheel of Yoga. She started teaching yoga in 2015, much to her children’s disgust, and spent the next few years trying to work out how to interest them in what she did. This changed when she started her children’s yoga teacher training with Calm for Kids, and she learnt how to spark children’s imaginations through yoga.
Maria is married with two children and two cats.

Discover the beauty and wonder of trees in this stunningly illustrated collection of poetry and stories celebrating trees and what they mean to the world around us . . .
Inspired by the woods around his home, the mighty forests that support our life on Earth, and the Ted Hughes poem which gives this book its title, My Heart Was a Tree is a celebration, and Sir Michael Morpurgo's love letter to trees.
There are stories from an ancient olive remembering Odysseus and Penelope, and from a eucalyptus that gave shelter to a koala; from a piece of driftwood that was made into a chair, and from a tiny sapling carried by a refugee as a reminder of home – these are poems and stories that will amuse, move and energise families and readers of all ages to appreciate the beauty and wonder of trees.
Yuval Zommer's beautiful, detailed illustrations bring the natural world to life, and make My Heart Was a Tree a book to pore over for hours and hours, discovering something new each time.

'A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic, but more heart' - Sunday Telegraph
No matter how big the show, family, friendship and adventure shine through in The Wonder Brothers by multi-award-winning author Frank Cottrell-Boyce, illustrated throughout by Steven Lenton.
‘Maybe you don’t believe me. Maybe you don’t believe in magic. I bet you will by the time you’ve heard what happened to us.’
Cousins Middy and Nathan love magic. The on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind.
For Middy, it’s all about patience and practice. She uses magic skills to help her out of tricky situations.
Nathan is a show-off and a total danger magnet, he is drawn to the sensation, spectacle and audience.
So when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically vanishes the night of the Grand Lights Switch-On, showman Nathan announces live on TV that they will magic it back home.
With a stick of rock, a spangly cape, and a bit of misdirection, they end up lost in Las Vegas, home to the grand master of illusion, Perplexion, ‘Legend of Magic’.
Full of tricks, twists and deceptions, the delightful Nathan and Middy will keep you guessing until the very end.

When she discovers everyone in Paris has forgotten the entire last year, 1888, including the disappearance of several gifted children, Piaf and her twin brother Luc embark on a dangerous journey that brings them to the depths of Paris’s underground twin, the Catacombs, to capture the memory thief and find the lost children—but are the two connected? And who dare they trust?

The Book:
When a mystery horse gallops on to a London housing estate in the middle of a storm, it will change four kids' lives for ever ... A heart-warming tale that celebrates neurodiversity and the power of alternative thinking from an author known for her honest, heartfelt and inclusive stories.
For Daniel Margate, life is muddled because everything moves: letters, numbers, even classrooms sometimes. Daniel is dyslexic and most of the time, school just doesn't make sense. He's in the bottom reading group at school with other kids who are trying to make sense of it all. There's Akin who can't sit still for more than two minutes and is almost always getting into trouble, sports star Ste is recovering from a car accident that left him learning how to walk again and Molly-May's school uniform never fits and is a regular at the local foodbank.
But when a mystery horse gallops into their lives one stormy evening, it changes everything. Desperate to keep him safe they form the Secret Horse Society and vow to protect this amazing creature. Inspired by stories of the great racehorse Seabiscuit, they name him Jammie Dodger and find they when they work together, nothing seems impossible. Even the Big Read Off at school. They just need to keep their new horse friend a secret.
How hard can it be to hide a horse, anyway?
The Author:
After performing as an actress and comedy improviser, Jane fell into writing stories and plays. Her books have won many awards including Peters Book of the Year two years running. Her debut novel A Room Full of Chocolate was longlisted for the Branford Boase Award and she has twice been nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
Jane is loud and proud about her dyslexia and when not writing likes to mentor Neurodiverse young people and promote the gift of alternative thinking. She was honoured to be named as one of the top 50 Neurodivergent Women by the platform Women Beyond the Box.
Jane is an advocate for charities close to her heart such as Nacoa and All Dogs Matter - whose dog shows she has lots of fun judging!

Delores Mackenzie has always attracted Bòcain- ghostly overstayers. But after she's chased home by a particularly restless spirit, she's sent to the mysterious Uncles of Edinburgh Old Town to learn how to control her 'gifts'. Scared and alone, she soon realises that her strange new housemates at the Tolbooth Book Store have sinister events of their own to battle with...can Delores find the strength to save them?
Author Bio:
I grew up on Walney, a small island off the coast of Cumbria where I spent lots of time huddled on blustery beaches with a book or three.
I write spooky books for middle grade and young teen readers, and I love stories of hauntings, witches, or anything with a bit of stomach-flipping uncanniness about it..
After a long spell in the Netherlands and five gloriously spooky years in Edinburgh, I now live in Stirlingshire with my husband and our very naughty hound. When I'm not writing, I can be found scoping out creepy settings for my next book or exploring the nearby hills.

When a school trip to Paris is planned, she worries about returning to the strict order of her grandmother’s chateau – but things are not as she left them. Soon Edie and her rebellious friends are caught up in a mystery involving a precious painting, secrets from her grandmother’s past and a very persistent burglar…

Book Blurb:
Chris Tetreault-Blay's `It's a Long Way to the Moon' is a heart-warming, inspirational rhyming picture book that follows the exploits of a moth with just one dream - to fly to the moon. Along with help from some lovable animal friends, he discovers an easier way to accomplish his goal, and invites children along for the ride. Taking its cues from the works of such greats as Julia Donaldson and Eric Carle, Tetreault-Blay's creation is set to become a classic in itself.
Author Bio:
Being a fan of horror film & fiction, sci-fi and heavy metal, Chris Tetreault-Blay naturally worked towards his own novel whilst writing three different short stories - all of which will have morphed in some way to form what eventually became The Wildermoor Apocalypse trilogy. Upon discovering and taking part in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) 2014, Chris was finally given the chance to bring all of the pieces together to write the first in this series – his debut novel, ‘Acolyte’.
Chris' role as a father and his enjoyment of reading bedtime stories to his children inspired him to finally try his hand at writing a children's book of his own, resulting in his debut offering 'It's A Long Way to The Moon' in 2019. Drawing on Chris' own love of Julia Donaldson and Eric Carle's work, the story follows the adorable Little Brown Moth on his mission to achieve his dream - and fly to the moon!
Chris also became a podcaster during the pandemic, where he is currently the producer and host of four different series, each following one of his passions in life.
Originally hailed from Basingstoke, Chris moved to sunny Devon after graduating from Staffordshire University in 2005, where he lives with his wife and twin children.

All aboard for an exciting new Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam escapade!
When Shifty and Sam are asked to bake on board the Pawrient Express, travelling to Venice for Carnival night, they find themselves caught up in a robbery. A sneaky thief has stolen the posh passengers’ gems and she’s making her escape in a getaway gondola! The doggy detectives are hot on her tail, but can they unmask that kitty-cat criminal and save the day?
Author Bio:
Tracey grew up in South Wales, on a council estate firmly sandwiched between the steel and chemical works.
She’s a trained teacher but now writes stories in an ancient cottage in the woods. A multi award-winning author, her first book was published in 2010, and in March 2022, her 73rd.
As a young child, Tracey owned few books. But thanks to an ancient set of encyclopaedias and a Ladybird copy of Cinderella, her passion for nosing into other people’s ‘stories’ began early on.
Some years later, one very special teacher fed Tracey more and more books. Between their pages real magic then started to happen. Books made her laugh and cry and think.
They made her feel that – maybe she could do things…

Sprout is a playful little Brussel whose tummy keeps turning greener and greener but he doesn't know why! Puzzled, he asks Scarecrow if he knows the answer. But that's not his only surprise! What big discovery does Sprout make?
As he innocently goes about his day, Sprout somehow seems to end up in mischief and mayhem. A cheeky but loveable little Brussel, his antics will help children to make sense of the world around them.

When young children learn without feeling they have been taught is when Susan feels she has done her job well. This lies at the heart of her writing.
Susan loves to write fun and engaging stories for children and grown-ups to share together which make you laugh, smile or maybe even bring a tear to your eye! Sprout's Surprise is the first in a series of fun escapades to develop children's understanding of the word around them.

Wendington Jones has her world abruptly up-ended when her adventuring mother dies in a car crash in late 1920.

However, her initial attempts are laced with danger. Other people also seek to find the Tree of Life and Wendington has to trick, fight and talk her way out of many perilous situations.

Book Blurb:
Siggy looks so cute as he twitches and turns in his sleep.
But as they watch him, little do the family know that in his dream he is “Siggy Sosidj” the star player for Manchester United. It’s up to Siggy to rescue his team in the biggest game of his life. But can he do it?
Join Siggy and a multi-national cast of doggie players to find out - in a fast-paced, beautifully illustrated tale about overcoming the odds, staying true to your purpose and being kind...
Author Bio:About Brian Frederick
Children’s book author Brian Frederick knew he wanted to be a writer at a young age, having won praise and awards for his early stories. When he writes, he finds himself entering a bubble of creativity, allowing his mind to wander into an imaginary world.
Whether the story is about embracing enthusiasm and good cheer, or finding gratitude in the little things, Brian’s characters are blessed with good fortune. In Brian’s picture book, Siggy Loves Sausages, the magical little dog Siggy is rewarded for his positivity—with a sausage, of course!
Brian’s background includes being a “bit of a lawyer,” but prefers writing stories rather than writing writs. His philosophy is that a great book is one that shares the beauty in everyday life. His relatability to children is evident, even if it involves fairies, as is in Siggy and The Phlower Phairies. Brian’s hope is that his stories provide happiness and enjoyment to his young readers.
When he isn’t writing imaginative life lessons for children—whilst listening to loud indie rock music on headphones—Brian enjoys following Manchester United Football Club and walking with his wife, Havinder. Together they live in a small nature reserve, where their house is alive with birdsong and woodland critters run around the trees like a fairytale forest. A perfect haven for storytelling.

Roll up, roll up, the Scareground is in town…
The infamous Tombola fair has not been back to Greenwich since tragedy struck it years ago, but everything changes when black balloons float into town announcing the return of the Scareground.

But behind such wonders hides a darkness Nancy never expected, a place where she must confront her greatest fears. Not least that someone might find out her hidden talent/curse, just one more thing that makes her different and must be kept secret…

A joyful and inclusive lullaby about love, acceptance and following your heart . . .
Strong and bold, or quiet and kind, every child is unique and their future filled with possibilities. Based on Fred Small’s iconic folk song that became an anthem for generations, and marking its 40th anniversary, Everything Possible celebrates love and friendship, gently encouraging children to dream their own dream and choose their own path, wherever it may take them. An inspiring and uplifting picture book for children everywhere.
With a brand-new free ‘Stories Aloud’ audio recording and revised lyrics – scan the QR code at the end of the story to hear the song.
Illustrator Bio:
I grew up in Bangor, Northern Ireland and studied art at Manchester Metropolitan and Liverpool John Moores Universities and Goldsmiths College, London. I did a lot of formal studying, and learned a huge amount during that time, but I think my path towards a career in picture books began with my love of comics and cartoons, particularly "Peanuts", the creation of my hero, the great Charles M. Schulz.
Before I became a full-time illustrator and writer, I did many other jobs including teaching English, working in a bookshop and designing Christmas and Halloween point-of-sale for Asda!
I work with publishers in the UK and around the world including Bloomsbury, Farshore, Little Tiger Press, Oxford University Press, Simon & Schuster USA and Hinkler.
My books have been published in Spanish (Castillian and Catalan), German, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, French, Finnish, Romanian, Afrikaans, Portuguese, Italian, Hebrew and this year, for the first time, in Scots Gaelic and Welsh!

It is there that she meets her friends – Pearl, Mary and Diya – and they start to practise mini heists involving the theft of cakes, biscuits and other sweet goodies.
But when Cos finds out that Lord Francis Fitzroy, the explorer behind the Empire Exhibition, is planning to adopt them, she and her friends plot the biggest heist of their life. Instead of fondant fancies, they’re going to steal Fitzroy’s prized tiara, containing the legendary Star Diamond of India! But, as they start preparing for the day, Cosima finds herself drawing ever closer to discovering the one secret she’s always wanted to know – the truth about her parents…

Book Blurb:
The powerful tale of a girl who feels broken, and the dolphin who makes her whole. A story of friendship, hope and self-discovery, perfect for readers aged 9+, and beautifully illustrated in black and white by George Ermos.
Ró finds school impossible. She knows people think she's shy - and stupid. But when she goes to the bay each afternoon to watch the dolphin leap through the water, she finds the strength to keep going. Then the dolphin disappears, and everything starts falling apart.
Can Ró overcome her fears to find him?
I watch each rise and dip of wave
know Sunny must be out there
somewhere
wonder if he's missing me.
I remember that moment
when I touched his skin
and know that finding him
is the only thing
that can make
the aching stop
make me feel
not broken.

His 2022 debut The Great Fox Illusion was Blackwell’s Children’s Book of the Month, listed by Waterstones as one of their Best Children’s Books of the Month, a Toppsta Best Book of the Month, and listed for the Adrien Prize, the Phoenix Book Award, the Children’s Literature Festivals Book Awards, the Kernow Youth Book Award, and the Dudley Children’s Book Award.

Book 1 Blurb:
Marina lives in Merlington, a fish-obsessed seaside town. Unfortunately, she doesn't care for fish; she loves telling stories.
Marina finds her best story yet when she explores the ruined, haunted pier: a boy called William with a head of tentacles and crab claws for hands. He has lived on the pier all his life, cared for by a fisherman who has since disappeared and who warned him always to remain hidden.
Together, the pair resolve to unravel the mystery of his past – but danger isn't far away ...
The debut novel by Richard Pickard, a fresh new voice in children's fiction and winner of the Times/Chicken House Chairman's Choice Award 2019.
A funny, dark, core middle-grade story touching on themes of lies, storytelling, secrets, acceptance and, of course, fish!
Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and Edward Scissorhands!
Book 2 Blurb:
HIS FEET WERE THE FIRST CLUE ...
Casper dreams of swimming the Channel. Surely, he was born to use his webbed toes ... Instead, he's strictly forbidden to go near water.
When his parents have an unlucky accident, Casper is sent to stay with a grandmother he's never met - where he discovers his special tie to the sea ...
From the acclaimed author of The Peculiar Tale of the Tentacle Boy – winner of the Times/Chicken House Competition Chairman's Choice Award
Packed full of magical realism, humour, LGBTQ+ representation and a message of acceptance
Perfect for readers aged 9 and up

Author Bio:
Clare is a former primary school teacher turned writing tutor and children’s author, living in South West England with her husband and two children. Clare does her best writing by the sea (or on the sofa with a dog on her lap!), which is lucky because she lives close to many beautiful beaches and the salty sea air (and has a dog called Hope!)
When Clare isn’t writing stories, she is inspiring children to write their own. She loves visiting schools, libraries, bookshops and festivals in her authormobile, giving her an outlet for her BIG ideas. Once she helped a class make a giant rice crispy cake that was so wide it wouldn’t fit through the door!
But her best idea yet has been putting pen to paper. Clare loves writing whacky, funny books but is also passionate about writing stories that help children deal with big feelings and difficult issues, including dementia, divorce and serious heath issues. She has recently started writing books that are a mix of fact and fiction, interweaving non-fiction with brilliant storytelling.
Clare is the founder of Books That Help – an initiative that aims to celebrate picture books and how they can be used therapeutically to navigate life’s up and downs..

Life-affirming and lyrical, this beautiful picture book celebrates the awesome power of nature, while gently introducing young children to the concept of life and death.
Over the course of a year, a young child and their dog watch kingfishers by the river with Grandpa. As spring turns to summer and autumn to winter, the kingfishers raise a family, while Grandpa teaches his grandchild about the power of nature and the circle of life.
Written in memory of her father, whose favourite bird was the kingfisher, Anna Wilson takes readers on a lyrical journey though a year in the life of a kingfisher family. Stunning illustrations by Sarah Massini bring the riverbank to life in all its glory, while the powerful intergenerational bond between grandparent and grandchild shows that just as spring always follows winter, hope will always return if you know where to look for it.
A positive story about life, death, and being a part of the natural world.

In a world where only one colour is allowed, will he be brave enough to tell his dad? And will they be able to defy the rules and create a world where EVERY colour is welcome?
One boy and his dad are about to come OUT OF THE BLUE and into life in technicolour!

A warm and funny stage-by-stage tour through all the sizes of a growing baby – from teeny-tiny poppy seed to giant watermelon – from an exciting new picture book partnership!
It’s hard to wait for a new baby to join the family, especially when it’s still growing inside Mum’s tummy. But when Dad describes the size of the baby at each stage, one little girl imagines, while she waits, all the fun she can have with her baby brother as a teeny-tiny poppy seed, then a grape, then a lemon . . . But she’s not quite sure how she feels about having an avocado for a brother. Or an onion. Or – gulp – a watermelon!
This joyful picture book playfully explores the loooong waiting game for a much-anticipated new sibling – with an adorable twist at the end . . .
Author Bio:
Tracy Darnton is a writer for children and young adults.
My Brother is an Avocado is a picture book out in May 2023 with Simon & Schuster with a playful twist on the excitement and anxieties for siblings when a new baby is on the way. It's a departure from her usual dark YA thrillers - but they all have twisty endings!
In her latest YA thriller, Ready or Not, a girl goes missing during a late-night game of hide-and-seek. Three families have holidayed together at Creek House since forever but lately friendships have been under strain. The remaining teens head back to Creek House, one year later, and secrets begin to be revealed. Is everyone playing games? It's a coming of age story about privilege, obsession and friendship.
The Rules is about a girl on the run from her prepper dad and his extreme rules. It delves into the world of preppers preparing for disaster and was longlisted for the UKLA Book Award 2022.
Her first novel - The Truth About Lies - was shortlisted for the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2019 and was a World Book Night 2020 title. She has a special interest in the nature of memory and mnemonic techniques and so it was inevitable that her first novel would be a memory thriller. She chose Dartmoor - one of her favourite places in the UK - as its setting.
The Truth About Lies was reprinted with a new cover in 2023.
She won the Stripes/The Bookseller YA Short Story Prize in 2016. Her short story The Letter was published in I'll Be Home for Christmas and is now the basis of the novel The Rules.
She lives near Bath in the South West of England where she buys far too many books.

Book Blurb:
When her parents disappear, 12 -year-old Raven McKay is put into foster care with Kitty Stromsoe in the town of Grave’s Pass. It’s not an ordinary town. It’s a town where the living and the dead live side by side, but few wear their identity on their sleeves.
All her parents have left Raven is a battered beige suitcase with a faded black butterfly sticker and a note saying not to open the suitcase until the right time. But can she resist? And who among the living and the dead are her friends?
Grave’s Pass has two mayors: one for the living and one for the dead — an arrangement that implies that the two know how to live comfortably side by side.
But beneath the surface lurk dark desires, old mistrusts and vivid jealousies

Abandoned children running wild on the moors, evil child catchers, cunning cats and mysterious ballet shoes abound in this incredible first novel.
Clara has lived a life of solitude, home schooled under her mean uncle's strict regime . . . until now!
The day that Uncle abandons Clara, leaving her with nothing but a wedge of 'guilt money' and a half empty, crumbling manor house, she is determined to do things her way for a change. And when streetwise Peter turns up, with his rescue cat and a surprising array of knowledge, she is sure that between them they have everything they need to survive.
But the house is to be sold . . . and Uncle has lied to Clara . . . and nothing, NOTHING is as it seems.

Not only that but she's told that her beloved rabbit, His Nibs, is not allowed to go with her. Luckily, Caro's not one for following rules. With her rabbit in hiding, and her wild behaviour getting her into trouble as soon as she walks through the door, Caro is only going to find herself in deeper water. In the lining of her suitcase is a small but extraordinary painting of a thrush . . . a painting that some dangerous art thieves are hunting down! Can Caro and her friends solve the mystery of the stolen songbird and find its owners before it's too late? Here ensues an exciting dash across London, with twists and turns as plentiful as the cobbled streets which Caro and her friends must navigate!

Book 1 Blurb:
The school bully is the only one who can save them.
James’ life has been turned upside down and now the local bully has made him a target. So why would his mother insist he should invite him over? Especially when they’re hiding a secret badger clan at the bottom of the garden.
Now the badgers are under threat from a gang with fighting dogs and the badgers aren’t the only ones in peril.
Danger is approaching and it will make the most unlikely of heroes.
A story about becoming the person you can be, not the person you are expected to be.
Book 2 Blurb:
Action adventure story, suitable for 8-12 year-olds
The boys are back for another adventure. This time the stakes are higher. Much higher.
Can they reunite in time to stop a merciless gang from carrying out a cruel crime against innocent puppies?
It would seem danger follows Greg wherever he goes…
The Author:
Rachel Coverdale was born and bred in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside in North East England. Raised with copious amounts of animals but without the distraction of a modern TV set, she turned to books and her own imagination for entertainment. Animals were and still are a huge part of her life and inevitably they made their way into her stories. Believing strongly in fresh air, nature and outdoor play to give children a sense of fun and freedom, Rachel uses her books to encourage children to connect with nature and venture into the countryside.
Having taught as an English teacher for many years and now settled happily into the role of school librarian, Rachel ensures all her books are not only creative, imaginative and exciting, but also of great educational benefit. Teaching resources and a scheme of work are available for "The Boy Who Couldn't".
Rachel regularly travels her native North East England paying visits to Primary and Secondary schools, giving talks on her books and about the importance of nature and the environment they live in.

Book Blurb:
Alice can't wait for the summer of adventure that lies ahead. She's excited to explore the huge ship, with its shops, animals and even celebrities on board.
As Alice's sailor father focuses on winning a prestigious race, she witnesses a shocking attack. Alice and her new friend Sonny start to uncover a dark sabotage plot, and as they investigate gold bars, anonymous notes and lost silk gloves, secrets in their own lives come to the surface.
While fog threatens the boat's journey, and dangerous enemies show themselves, Alice and Sonny are in their own race to solve all the mysteries unfolding. But what they discover might change both their lives forever...
Author Bio:
In 2015 I was one of 15 writers selected to take part in a Curtis Brown Creative Writing for Children course tutored by Catherine Johnson. My books have been nominated for a number of awards and The House of One Hundred Clocks won The Mal Peet Children's Award and The East Anglian Book of the Year 2020. Mystery of the Night Watchers was selected as Blackwell's children's book of the month for July 2021.
The first book in my new historical series, Mysteries at Sea: Peril on the Atlantic, was published by Usborne in August 2023 and was selected as Waterstones Children's Book of the Month.
I live in Suffolk with my husband and two almost grown up children and when I'm not writing I love nothing more than curling up with a good book. My favourite children's authors include Katherine Rundell, Katherine Woodfine, Lesley Parr and Lucy Strange. I also love long walks in the countryside, swimming and drinking lots of tea!

Book Blurb:
Thirteen-year-old Aidan can't breathe in his crowded family home. Running is his only respite from four loud sisters and involved, touchy-feely parents. Then his mum makes an announcement: she's having another baby. Only, this time it's not for her; she will be a surrogate for gay couple Justin and Atif.
Aidan is incensed. As if his family wasn't embarrassing - or big - enough already. But he's also scared. Aidan thinks he might be gay, and he's really struggling to accept this possibility. He's definitely not ready to come out, but what if being around Justin and Atif exposes him as gay?
If only he was just like everyone else.
Author Bio:
Sarah Hagger-Holt is the award-winning author of Carnegie-nominated middle-grade novels, 'Nothing Ever Happens Here' (2020) and 'Proud Of Me' (2021), ideal for 9-12 year olds, as well as writing and researching non-fiction for adults on LGBTQ+ experience. Her next middle-grade novel 'Just Like Everyone Else' was released in June 2023.

Book 1 Blurb:
A rip-roaring Roman adventure from the acclaimed author of Princess BMX, Marie Basting
Livi just wants to fit in. So, being catapulted back to Ancient Rome and finding out her mum is a warrior goddess is not part of the plan. As for the rest of the family – her sister is a cyclops, her uncle is building an army, and her role-play, LARP-obsessed dad is now a lava soldier. The fate of the world resting on her shoulders, can Livi embrace her differences and sort this mess out?
• A laugh-out-loud funny family caper full of excitement and heart: perfect for fans of Loki, Horrible Histories and Who Let the Gods Out?
Book 2 Blurb:
A funny, action-packed tale of friendship and bikes, that brings the fairytale bang up to date.
Trust me, the fairy tales have it so wrong. Dingy towers and wicked step-mums are the least of my worries: it’s the boredom that will kill me.
Honestly, apart from the endless supply of cupcakes, being a princess is pretty rubbish. I used to think about locking myself in a tower and throwing away the key. Thank the good goblin I discovered BMX. If it wasn’t for BMX, nothing would have changed …
Author Bio:
When Marie Basting was fifteen, she was told by a careers advisor that girls like her don’t become writers. For a long time, she believed this. But then something magical happened and Marie finally came to realise that girls like her can do anything they want. Her critically-acclaimed debut novel, Princess BMX, published in 2019.
Marie lives in Manchester with her husband, son and a giant, hairy woo-dog called Polly. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her supporting other girls and boys to follow their writing dreams.

The moment his heart is fixed he'll row out to the island in the bay all by himself just like he's always dreamed. But when his op is postponed, Dara snaps. When will he get to live his real life? Maybe the adventures he dreams of are just silly fantasies.
And then he finds a girl hiding in the boat shed. She wears animal skins. She has a real live pet wolf. She is, simply, impossible. Could Mothgirl really be from the Stone Age?

Book Blurb:
‘Earmuffs to the Moon’ is a story of bravery, self-discovery, wonder and awe. It is a celebration of our majestic Universe as seen through the eyes of Sara, an autistic girl who has dreams of shooting into space.
The playful rhymes take the reader on an exhilarating journey with Sara. They are invited into her vision, her interpretation, her imagination and her delight in the glorious world around her.
Sara learns to overcome the barrier of labels. She is a girl who refuses to sit inside the box that society places her in. Instead, she embraces what the world would call her ‘differences,’ for these differences are indeed her superpowers. She is a girl who marks her own path; a path that takes her to a magical place amongst the stars!

Book Blurb:
Welcome to Haarville. If you've arrived, you've survived. In the murky, misty seaside town of Haarville, something smells fishy, and it isn't the seafood... Manx Fearty is about to lose his family's perpetual device shop to some sinister newcomers. Can Manx and his friends untangle secrets and seaweed to save the Fearty legacy and the town?
Author Bio:
After years spent flying around the world as cabin crew, Justin finally hung up his wings to focus on writing books that children can lose themselves in. His first book, Help! I Smell a Monster (Orchard) won the Fantastic Book Awards in 2021; his new middle grade novel, Haarville, was published by Floris/Kelpies in February 2023.
As well as writing, Justin loves visiting schools to share his books, which he says is one of the best things about being a children’s author.
When not lost in his own imagination, Justin continues his lifelong quest to bake the perfect scone. It’s an important endeavour, and one he takes very seriously.
Justin lives with his husband Andrew, and Sally the rescue greyhound, in the shadow of the Forth Bridge in Fife.

Title: Henry Baker
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Dedication Available: YES
Postage & Packaging: FREE
Bids Accepted: UK only
Website: https://nickymoxey.com
Twitter: https://twitter.com/moxeyns
The Book:
When Henry Baker finds a small, super-shiny black pencil on his way to school, his life is changed forever...
This nine-story compendium provides a gently stretching read for 7 to 9 year olds, or perfectly paced bedtime stories for younger children. The wide-ranging subject matter - from a friendship dilemma to helping a passing Viking; picking up the pieces from a karate disaster to finding a lost voice - will amuse your youngsters whilst quietly encouraging them to think.
Nicky is an amateur archaeologist and an author of adult historical fiction, as well as a karateka and the chair of the village Neighbourhood Plan committee - many of the stories are drawn from her research or every day life, giving them a depth of detail!
The Author:
I live in the middle of rural Suffolk, UK, and am currently owned by a slinky black cat who's far too clever for her own good.
In my spare time, I'm an amateur historian/archaeologist, and in dry daylight hours am usually out on a field somewhere with a metal detector and/or a trowel. I've added quite a few things to the Heritage England Record and the Portable Antiquities Scheme; but what really fascinates me is the stories behind the artefacts.
I love writing a series of short stories about Henry Baker, a boy who finds a magic pencil on the way to school - and who has lots of adventures as the pencil makes anything he draws, become real! He draws some historical artefacts, as well as things to get him out of the sort of trouble any 9 year old boy can find.

Book Title: Nura and the Immortal Palace
Genre: Children MG - Contemporary Fantasy
Format: Hardback
Dedication Available: YES
Postage & Packaging; FREE
Bids Accepted: Global
Website: https://mtkhan.com
Twitter: https://twitter.com/maeedakhan
Book Blurb:
Nura longs to wear a beautiful red dupatta or to bite into a sweet gulab. But with her mom hard at work in a run-down sweatshop and three younger siblings to feed, Nura must spend her days earning money by mica mining. But it’s not just the extra rupees Nura is after. Local rumor says there’s buried treasure in the mine, and Nura knows that finding it could change the course of her family’s life forever.
Her plan backfires when the mines collapse and four kids, including her best friend, Faisal, are claimed dead. Nura shovels her way through the dirt hoping to find him. Instead, she finds herself at the entrance to a strange world of purple skies and pink seas—a portal to the opulent realm of jinn, inhabited by the trickster creatures from her mother’s cautionary tales. Yet they aren’t nearly as treacherous as her mother made them out to be, because Nura is invited to a luxury jinn hotel, where she’s given everything she could ever imagine.
But there’s a dark truth lurking beneath all that glitter and gold, and when Nura crosses the owner’s son and is banished to the working quarters, she realizes she isn’t the only human who’s ended up in the hotel’s clutches. Faisal and the other missing children are there, too, and if Nura can’t find a way to help them all escape, they’ll be bound to work for the hotel forever.
Author Bio:
M.T. Khan is a speculative fiction author with a penchant for all things myth, science, and philosophy. She focuses on stories that combine all three, dreaming of evocative worlds and dark possibilities.
When she's not writing, M.T. Khan can be found travelling the world or cracking physics equations as she graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Born in Lahore, Pakistan, she currently resides in Toronto, Canada, with a hyperactive cat and an ever-increasing selection of tea.

Title 1: Tinker Snickels and the Nurture Gnomes
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Dedications Available: YES
Postage & Packaging; FREE
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Website: https://www.nurturegnomes.co.uk
Twitter: https://twitter.com/NurtureGnomes
Book Blurb:
The first story follows Tinker Snickels, who struggles to talk about how he is feeling. When he runs away he stumbles across an elderly lady who he opens up to and she sends him home with a gift. However, Tinker Snickels loses the gift ... or does he? An uplifting story that gently highlights the importance of talking about feelings (along with a dash of magic)!
20% proceeds go to Young Minds Charity.
The second book follows on from the first and is about Tinker's friend Halfpint, who realises he has different thoughts and feelings to his friends. He struggles with crowds, loud noises and concentrating in school. After a particularly bad day he opens up to his Mother and she helps him to understand that it’s ok to be different. A story with some magical mystery, friendship, kindness and accepting differences.
Author Bio:
I am a wife and proud mum to two now adult sons (the youngest of whom is autistic), a children's author and art teacher. When my children began school (all those years ago)! I supported a young, autistic child in nursery and enjoyed it so much that this started my passion of working with children with additional needs (working in Early Years for 13 years).
I have worked in SEND education now for over 23 years, during which time I have also studied and attained several Diplomas which include Advanced SEND Teaching, Advanced Counselling, Psychology, Psychiatric Studies, Art Therapy and a recent course in Children and Young People's Mental Health.
During a short break from teaching, I co-facilitated an autism parenting course for a charity and worked on developing a school transition booklet for them, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I returned to the post 16 college to teach until it unfortunately closed due to funding. Currently I am a parent support volunteer with our local autism group and continue to support families with autistic children.
AWARDS:
Small Business Award from Theo Paphitis, Dragon's Den.
Finalist in the Rising Star category and Highly Commended Award from We are the City (women in business).

Book Blurb:
A sweet book to help empower children and to highlight just how brilliant they are for being themselves! Eddie shows that we are all different, unique, have many strengths, talents and reminds children they are loved and valued. Eddie says, be proud of who you are, aiming for every child to feel a little ‘lift’ from this book! Eddie is autistic, he shares how he navigates his environments and teaches his readers in a cheerful way! Ages 3-7. Eddie helps all children learn about autism, what it is like for Eddie and how “we are all different and that’s wonderful!’ Whether your child receives their diagnosis at toddler age or much later, this wonderful tool suits all children, aiming for autistic children to see themselves and others to learn what it can be like for their autistic friend. This book can be used anytime before or after diagnosis to celebrate neurodiversity. It can also be an overwhelming time for parents and carers to know when to start to explain to their child, about their autism diagnosis. During this time parents, carers and therapists look for the best way to deliver understanding along with love, supporting needs and reassurance. At the same time, this can be a huge relief for the child to understand that they are truly wonderful as they are, and do not need to adapt to anything that does not suit their needs. This sweet little book anticipates to act as a communication opener between the child and the parents/caregivers. It helps to open up the subject in a gentle and nurturing way, to revisit at any time the child is ready and build upon their experiences with you! The colourful, eye catching illustrations are carefully designed in simple 2D characters, sensory colours with simple contrast and clear short sentences allowing space to process in the child’s own time. A beautiful beginning as this book was first made for my son, then blossomed to help children and families globally and is recommended by professionals. This book states 'autistic person' rather than 'with autism' as preferred by the autsitic community, however it is most important to ask each individual their wishes regarding what they would prefer.
Author Bio:
The Eddie books began when Nikki wrote My Awesome Autism for her son, who is autistic and wanted to learn about autism and relate to a character. From this there are more in the series, for siblings and classmates, starting school, learning about mistakes, idioms, the sensory experience around Christmas time and exploring our feelings and emotions!
There is a new TV show out on Sky Kids in Oct ‘23 called Ready Eddie Go, based on these beautiful books.

Book Blurb:
If you've ever wondered how you can make your diet cruelty-free, whether it's ethical to own a pet, or if insects are actually important – this book is for you. Learn how to make the right choices to live a cruelty-free life and demystify the morals and ethics around animals and wildlife.
How do the everyday choices you make affect animals and the environment? This book looks at all the things you can do to live cruelty free.
It's a guide for older children and teenagers concerned about animals, wildlife and the planet we live on.
Packed with information on how to live a cruelty-free life, it includes sections on:
Using your spending power. The choices we make – what to eat, what to buy, what to wear – and how these affect animals. Asking questions and reading labels.
Cruelty-free fashion and beauty.
What's on your plate? Being vegetarian or vegan, or just eating less meat? What impact can your diet have on cruelty and on the environment?
Should you have a pet? If so, would your pet choose you as its owner? Points to consider before bringing an animal into your home.
Animals on show. Do zoos and animal parks look after animals or exploit them? Good zoos and their important conservation work.
Watching wild animals. Watching and learning about wildlife – building an appreciation of nature and helping your mental wellbeing.
Love those bugs! Many people are squeamish about insects, but these creatures are vital to ecosystems.
Don’t throw it away – there is no away. Simple things everyone can do to avoid waste: recycling, re-using, choosing plastic-free. Resist the throwaway culture.
Where do you draw your line? What can you realistically achieve? Some of the difficulties, especially if family / friends don’t agree with you. What are the best (and worst) ways of influencing others? How to feel confident with your decisions.
How to handle everyday situations and counter arguments.
Campaigning – anti-cruelty organisations to support. The power of protest.
This book will help you to live as cruelty-free as possible and to examine all of the areas in your life where you can help animals and the environment.
Author Bio:
I wanted to be a writer from the age of eight. The first book I can remember reading by myself was Black Beauty (an abridged, illustrated edition); I read and re-read it until I almost knew it by heart, and can still remember the illustrations. From then on, I was a secret writer – filling exercise books with stories which I hid in my wardrobe. Eventually it occurred to me that if I was ever to achieve my dream of being a published writer, I’d better do something about it. So I set myself the challenge of completing a novel and submitting it to publishers.
My first novel, Run with the Hare, was for young adults and was about a sixth-form girl who becomes involved with an Animal Rights group. (I've been vegetarian since my early twenties, and animal welfare is a subject I am passionate about). Run with the Hare became the first of several young adult novels, including the Some Other War trilogy set in the First World War, Flightsend and The Damage Done.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/MargsRooke
Book 1 Blurb:
In more than 100 interviews, children and young adults reveal their personal tips and tactics for honing the creative benefits of dyslexia, enabling them to thrive in school and beyond. Strategies include ways to develop confidence and self-belief. The contributors have outlined specific approaches they feel have helped them, and others that haven't. The book contains stunning illustrations by 8-18 year olds with dyslexia.
The first-hand accounts are inspiring in the way they normalise dyslexia and reveal the many success stories. There is an additional section for professionals who work in education or special learning environments, with advice given by school students themselves.
Book 2 Blurb:
**Joint Gold Winner of the Moonbeam Multicultural Non-Fiction Award 2019**
This inspirational book tells the stories of more than 50 of today's teenagers who've dared to change the world they live in. It's been written to show other teens they can do the same. Bestselling author Margaret Rooke asks teens about their experiences of being volunteers, social entrepreneurs and campaigners, online and beyond. They explain how they have survived in a world often obsessed by celebrity, social media and appearance, by refusing to conform to other's expectations.
If you want to achieve against the odds and create genuine impact, this book may be the encouragement you need. The interviews cover race, sexuality, violence, grief, neurodiversity, bullying and other issues central to life today.
Read about teens from around the world including
- Trisha, 18, who has invented a way of preventing bullying online
- Dillon, 18, who takes damaged and donated clothing and upcycles it for the homeless
- Guro, 13, who persuaded a pop band to portray women differently in its video
- 'Happy D', 19, who learned to read at 14 and found ways to build his confidence
- Heraa, 19, who fights Islamophobia online.
- Ruben, 18, bullied because of Down's Syndrome, now a successful actor
- Lucy who, at 14, walked into Tesco head office and persuaded them not to sell eggs from caged hens.
- Cameron, 17, who has cerebral palsy and was side-lined by soccer teams who set up his own team 'Adversity United'
- Alex, 18, who broke his back on his 15th birthday and says his injury has taught him to care for others
- Amika, 18, who fights 'Period Poverty'
- Jesse, 15, who's seven feet tall and embraces his stature
- Billy, 18, who wore full make up every day at high school

Book 1 Blurb: PAWS
At home, Alex’s best friend is Kevin the cockapoo, although what he wants most of all is a friend at school. But that is harder than he ever expected. A touching story about learning that friendship isn’t one size fits all and is often found where you least expect it.
Everything is changing for 11-year-old Alex and, as an autistic person, change can be terrifying. With the first day of high school only a couple of months away, Alex is sure that having a friend by his side will help. So, he’s devised a plan – impress the kids at school by winning a trophy at the PAWS Dog Show with his trusty sidekick, Kevin. This should be a walk in the park . . . right?
Book 2 Blurb: The Bravest Word
Do you hear that? You’re Cliff now, and your life is going to get better, I promise.
When eleven-year-old Matt finds Cliff, a hurt, neglected dog abandoned in the bush, he knows the brave little pup needs saving. He wants to help. But can he?
Lately, Matt has had way more bad days than good days. The pieces of his life just don’t seem to fit together any more and he doesn’t understand why. He's finding it impossible to concentrate at school and has lost interest in the activities he used to love. Plus, he’s tired all the time.
Matt's too afraid to share what's really going on in his own head with anyone. His friends and family will never understand . . . maybe it's not only Cliff who needs saving.
Book 3 Blurb: Harriet Hound
The world's happiest and most dog-friendly superhero is here! A brand new adventure for junior readers from Kate Foster.
Meet Harriet Hound. She's eight years old and loves dogs!
But Harriet has something else that makes her super ... the power to summon the dogs from her family's rescue shelter every time there’s trouble afoot.
Whether it's a carnival catastrophe, a sudden storm, or vanishing vegetables, Harriet and her best dog friends use their super special talents and problem-solving skills to save the day!
Book 4 Blurb: The Unlikely Heroes Club
A fun, frolicking adventure about five kids with a mystery to solve!
Eleven-year-old Oli is spending his school holidays at Heroes Club, where kids can build friendships and learn about their emotions, but Oli just wants to be home … where it's familiar, not-so-boring and he can play his favourite game.
But when Oli and the other kids at the club see a stray dog who keeps disappearing into a soon-to-be-demolished building across the street, Oli and his four fellow heroes hatch a daring rescue plan to save the dog before it's too late.
It's going to take bravery, some seriously smart teamwork … and a few broken rules.

Book Blurb:
There are a lot of different types of monster. Some live at the bottom of lochs, some are found far out at sea and some swim about in the depths of your mind and these can be the scariest monsters of all - if you let them.
Benji McLaughlin is a visionary. He believes in things that other people think are impossible, like that he and his brother Stanley will be happy in their new home in Scotland, and that the Loch Lochy monster exists, and that his parents will come home safely one day, even though they've been missing for months.
When he finds out that his Uncle Hamish's Loch Lochy tourist business is struggling, and it looks like Benji and Stanley might lose another home, Benji's not worried. He has a plan. If he can show everyone that the Loch Lochy monster exists, people will flock to come and see it, and the business will flourish again.
Together with his new friend Murdy and Mr Dog, the best dog in the world, Benji sets off to capture evidence of the monster, even if he has to get a little creative. But Benji might end up confronting more monsters than he expects.

Together with his new friend Murdy and Mr Dog, the best dog in the world, Benji sets off to capture evidence of the monster, even if he has to get a little creative. But Benji might end up confronting more monsters than he expects.

The Book:
Angelo and his friends know that together they can handle any pretty much anything - including giant mutant spiders or snake-like parasites that burrow into your brain. But when a terrifying new enemy attacks from above it seems they have met their ultimate match . . . how can they defeat giant vampire birds that are after blood?
With summer term in full force - and sports day and prom night on the horizon - the whole school is in danger. The gang need a plan to bring safety to the skies!
The Author:
Jennifer Killick has always wanted to be a writer, but really started when she applied for a Creative Writing MA at Brunel University, which is where she first got the idea for Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink. She lives in Uxbridge, in a house full of children, animals and Lego. When she isn’t busy mothering or step-mothering (which isn’t often) she loves to read, write and run, as fast as she can. Jennifer’s favourite things are books, trees and fluffy slippers, and her favourite place in the world is her home, where she can sit in her pyjamas with tea and cake, coming up with story ideas.

Doug the camel discovers that it's ok to have a little 'me time' in this warm and witty rhyming tale from the acclaimed author of The Littlest Yak and The Viking Who Liked Icing.
A warmly reassuring rhyming story (with a fun counting element!) about how it's ok to need a little alone time, from the author of the award-winning The Littlest Yak.
Doug the camel is all alone and sometimes he wonders whether one is enough (it makes playing hide and seek terribly tough...). So when at first one, then two, then three, then four more camels turn up (followed by a whole camel herd), Doug delights in the possibilities all these new friends bring. But when Doug is 'all camelled out' from all the excitement and it's time to count down to bedtime, he takes just as much pleasure from the peace of being alone once again.

When Grandpa Joe tells Keisha about Great Aunt Bee, who was a lawyer and an activist, Keisha is determined to follow in her footsteps. Forming the Bee Squad, she enlists her friends KD and Paisley to help put an end to inequality. Soon they have their first cause.
Incensed by the fact that her local pet shop is selling male rabbits for more than female ones, Keisha lobbies the manager who explains that he’s overrun with female rabbits. The cheaper price is just a sales incentive. Uh-uh. It’s time to stand up for rabbits’ rights. But mixing up the bunnies has consequences far beyond those Keisha could have imagined!

The cheaper price is just a sales incentive. Uh-uh. It’s time to stand up for rabbits’ rights. But mixing up the bunnies has consequences far beyond those Keisha could have imagined!

Book Blurb:
An explosive new romantasy YA, perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Lore. Every Lunar Eclipse signifies the beginning of the Immortal Games: An epic set of games played by the Gods of Olympus, with randomly-selected humans as their Tokens. The stakes are high for the Gods who covet entertainment and glory above all else. For the Tokens, it's about survival. 17-year-old Ara seeks revenge. Revenge on the Gods for allowing her older sister to die in the Games. And now she is consumed with one ambition only - to find a weapon powerful enough to kill a God. But when Ara is plucked from the clutches of death by Hades, God of the Underworld, she realises that she has become a Token herself in the brutal games. Coached by the only God who has never won the games, the odds are stacked against her. Hades is the outcast of the Gods, who selects a Token who is already about to die to give them a second chance at life. But he soon realises that Ara does not fear death, just as she does not fear him. And when a wager offers Hades unimaginable power should his Token win, the games take on a new meaning. As the Games progress, Hades teaches Ara the value of life and living. Ara - still grieving the loss of her sister - teaches Hades compassion. And with Tokens slowly succumbing to the quests, Ara must put aside her rage if she is to survive!

Every Christmas her mother would ask her what she wanted from Santa, her reply was always the same, a pen and paper to allow her to write, followed by the words ‘I am going to be a writer one day Mum.’ It was never in any doubt that one day Lindsay would write a book as far as her mother was concerned, only a matter of time before she put that pen to paper. Lindsay, now a mother herself enjoyed reading to her daughter. She hopes that the book will encourage young children to discuss feelings and emotions at an early age, alongside their new best friend Marlo.

SCAVENGERS
Landfill has lived his whole life as a scavenger, running with wooflings, swimming with turtles and feasting on whatever he can catch.
Old Babagoo has always looked after him, on one condition. Follow Babagoo's rules. And the most important rule of all is NEVER go beyond the wall. But Landfill longs to venture Outside. And some rules are made to be broken.
Darren Simpson's exhilarating storytelling will make you think about the world differently in this urgent, compelling tale for our times.
THE MEMORY THIEVES
What you don't remember can't hurt you...
Cyan has lived at the Elsewhere Sanctuary for as long as he can remember, freed by Dr Haven from dark memories of his past life. But when Cyan finds a mysterious warning carved into the bones of a whale skeleton, he starts to wonder what he had to forget to be so happy. New resident, Jonquil, begins to resist the sanctuary's treatment, preferring to hold on to her memories - even the bad ones. So when Dr Haven resorts to harsher measures, Cyan embarks on a secret mission to discover the truth about the sanctuary...and himself.
FURTHERMOOR
The real world is a hostile place for twelve-year-old Bren, his schooldays stalked by vicious bully, Shaun, and his family life fractured at home. Ever since his sister Evie died in an accident, Bren's only safe space is Furthermoor, an imagined world of mechanised trees and clockwork animals, where Evie is still alive. In Furthermoor, no one can hurt Bren...until the mysterious Featherly arrives.
Now Bren is forced to confront his deepest fears and decide if his place in the real world is worth fighting for.
Enter a world as vast and dark as your imagination, in this unforgettable coming-of-age story about courage, friendship and finding your voice.

Book Blurb:
We all know fairies. They’re sweet and sparkly and lovely. Right?
WRONG! Meet Stink. Stink is the rudest, naughtiest fairy there’s ever been. Instead of sparkles, Stink makes mess. Instead of being kind, Stink plays pranks. She also eats woodlice and rides on rats.
From the moment Stink flies out of the fairy door and attaches herself to his hair, Danny knows that Stink is trouble. She needs his help to do a good deed and win her silver wings – and Danny will do anything to get Stink to go back to fairyland. But can Stink ever be good?
A laugh out loud adventure featuring the world’s worst fairy, multiple multi-coloured foxes and loads of troll poo.
Author Bio:
I have always loved reading and I studied English at university just so that I could read a bit more. Next I found my way into secondary teaching and discovered that I loved it too: I got to read more books, show off and hang out with very funny teenagers. What a great job!
Teaching English also encouraged me to write. Soon I had planned and started lots of different stories, but they were all abandoned and shoved to the back of a drawer. Then, one day, the plot for Flirty Dancing came together; Bea’s story was so alive it was like a film running in my head and I knew it was a story I would finish.
Over the next few years, various exciting events distracted me from Flirty Dancing: I got married, travelled the world, was chased by an angry elephant (and a pack of dogs) and I had two babies. While I was sitting on trains, swimming in the Outback and raising two crazy girls, I kept thinking about Bea, and her friends, Betty, Kat and Pearl, until I realised I had planned three more books.
In 2013, after attending the Winchester Writers’ Festival, I plucked up the courage to send Flirty Dancing to Julia Churchill, a brilliant children’s fiction agent at A.M. Heath. With dazzling speed I was then signed by Bloomsbury to write the four books in the series.

Book 1 Blurb:
I Will Not Ever NEVER Eat a Tomato
Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal.
When I was on a train travelling through Denmark, I saw a little girl.
She had very blonde hair and pointy eyes like an elf. She was colouring and sticking while she chatted non-stop. Although I couldn’t understand what she was saying, there was something about her that was mesmerizing – she had a cheekiness about her.
When I got home from my trip I drew her as I remembered her, in a little dress with trousers underneath. Then I tried to think of a story that would work with her character. I was a very fussy eater as a child and didn’t like to eat anything if I didn’t know what it was; nothing with lumps or bits, nothing mixed together. So this became her story.
I still have a picture of her in my mind and I sometimes think it is strange that there is this person walking about who has no idea that she inspired a series of books about a girl called Lola.
Book 2 Blurb:
A Dog With Nice Ears
The inspiration for this story of the dog-rabbit came from Maisie, my friend’s daughter. When Maisie was three she was cast as an angel in her nursery’s nativity play. Her mother, who knew this, was surprised when Maisie announced that she was, “Mary.”
Gently she explained that this was not so, but Maisie could not be convinced. “I am Mary,” she said. A few days later her mother asked, “What would make a good costume for an angel?” Maisie said, “Something blue because Mary wears blue.”
My friend watched the nativity waiting for the truth to dawn and the disappointment to set in, but it never did. As far as Maisie was concerned she was Mary, no matter the tinsel wings and white tunic. I think Lola has this same strength of character and it is not a bad way to be. If you believe hard enough then a RABBIT truly can be a DOG with nice ears.

Book 1 Blurb:
I Will Not Ever NEVER Eat a Tomato
Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal.
When I was on a train travelling through Denmark, I saw a little girl.
She had very blonde hair and pointy eyes like an elf. She was colouring and sticking while she chatted non-stop. Although I couldn’t understand what she was saying, there was something about her that was mesmerizing – she had a cheekiness about her.
When I got home from my trip I drew her as I remembered her, in a little dress with trousers underneath. Then I tried to think of a story that would work with her character. I was a very fussy eater as a child and didn’t like to eat anything if I didn’t know what it was; nothing with lumps or bits, nothing mixed together. So this became her story.
I still have a picture of her in my mind and I sometimes think it is strange that there is this person walking about who has no idea that she inspired a series of books about a girl called Lola.
Book 2 Blurb:
A Dog With Nice Ears
The inspiration for this story of the dog-rabbit came from Maisie, my friend’s daughter. When Maisie was three she was cast as an angel in her nursery’s nativity play. Her mother, who knew this, was surprised when Maisie announced that she was, “Mary.”
Gently she explained that this was not so, but Maisie could not be convinced. “I am Mary,” she said. A few days later her mother asked, “What would make a good costume for an angel?” Maisie said, “Something blue because Mary wears blue.”
My friend watched the nativity waiting for the truth to dawn and the disappointment to set in, but it never did. As far as Maisie was concerned she was Mary, no matter the tinsel wings and white tunic. I think Lola has this same strength of character and it is not a bad way to be. If you believe hard enough then a RABBIT truly can be a DOG with nice ears.

Book Blurb: The Housetrap is a spooky, Scooby Doo-esque adventure where four almost-friends find themselves trapped in a strange house in the woods. The house is set for an escape room style party but for some reason it doesn’t want to let the kids go … it has other plans for them. The team have to unravel multiple mysteries and at the same time attempt to solve the puzzles and riddles left by the architect of the house, in a desperate effort to escape. The only thing they have in their favour is that they are alone in there …
Or are they?
For readers 9+ who like mystery, puzzles, adventure, and the odd jump scare.
In addition to the creepy words (by me) the illustrations on the cover and interior are by Coralie
Author Bio: Emma Read is the author of The Housetrap, and the Milton series (Chicken House), including Milton the Mighty, one of The Times Best Children’s Books of 2019 and shortlisted for the Bath Children’s Novel Award.
She loves all things spooky (and spidery!) and can often be found walking through her local graveyard … but only in daylight. Like Mark Gatiss, she doesn’t believe in ghosts, but is scared of them.

Josie James is an ordinary 13 year old until something extraordinary happens during her summer holidays. Whilst staying at her great grandmother’s cottage in the country she finds herself swept into the cursed world of Suncroft where it is perpetual winter. Her new friends believe she could be the Chosen One who it is foretold will lift the curse, but there are more pressing matters.

Book Blurb:
Travel back to a time before the Trevi fountain and read the fable of a Yeti who lived on top of a mountain. This tale includes a Gladiator collage, a Wizard and even an Elf. You will also find out what kind of Yeti would want to eat lots of spaghetti. Its exciting conclusion happens on Christmas Eve when a new friendship is made. This is a perfect story to be read just before bedtime.
Author Bio:
My writing and illustrating career all started as an experiment back in December 2021.
I wanted to see if I could create and publish a book using just my iPad.
The end result was my first self-published picture book: The Spaghetti Yeti.
After some great sales and feedback, I was inspired to continue, and I currently have three WIPs on the go.
Two of these are new children's picture books but the third will be my first novel for young adults.
As for my day-to-day, I currently work in higher education, optimising the digital experience for a whole range of audiences.
I've worked in web design for the best part of 20 years and have always had a creative approach to my projects.
It's writing digital user stories all these years that enabled me to move into the author's world.
Oh, and my brain is wired a bit differently than most. Being neurodivergent is challenging, but it allows me to craft some pretty epic fables and tales.

The Books:
Meet Supertato! The caped potato superhero fighting to save the world from arch-villain - the Evil Pea. Can Supertato foil his nemesis’ many plots to wreak chaos in the supermarket? Whether it is the supermarket sports day, hide and seek in the aisles or Carnival time for the vegetable friends, Supertato is determined to save the day. When the chips are down, Supertato is there for you, but things can get hairy when veggies go bad…
The Supertato books are hilarious and fun-filled adventure stories, packed with bright and bold illustrations. Children and adults alike adore the wacky Supertato characters. Kids love searching for the Evil Pea lurking in the supermarket aisles and the silly humour in the stories. Adults love the fact that children are introduced to new vegetables, not to mention the fact that the books are great fun to read aloud!
Written and illustrated by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, the bestselling creators of Barry the Fish with Fingers , I Need a Wee and Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell , these books are firm family favourites up and down the country as shown by the many 5* reviews from Toppsta readers below. There was even a World Book Day Supertato story in both 2016 and 2020.
The Author/Illustrator: Sue Hendra
Sue Hendra grew up in Wimbledon and has always loved making up stories and drawing pictures. Her favourite book as a child was Mr Silly. She graduated from Brighton University in 1994 and has been creating picture books ever since. In 2006 she met Paul Linnet and could instantly see that she’d met a fellow nitwit who liked talking nonsense. They went on to create many bestselling books together,
Sue loves swimming, and can swim up and down for a very long time. Her favourite book is still Mr Silly.
The Author/Illustrator: Paul Linnet
Paul Linnet was born in Brighton and grew up in the Midlands, reading Tintin and playing classic 80s video games, before becoming obsessed with scribbling, writing, guitars and motorcycles. He studied Graphic Design at Derby University, and later moved back to Brighton where he met Sue Hendra. They made up a story about a fish with fingers and then a slug with a doughnut for a shell, and now no one can stop them from writing more and more frankly ridiculous books.
Paul still loves scribbling, writing, guitars and motorcycles.

The Book 1: Roo & Sarge : To The Rescue
Roo the Cockapoo and Sarge the German Shepherd who used to help his detective owner with his police work, live at Springfield Dogs Home. The inseparable friends dream that pne day someone will adopt and welcome them into their new home. Will their dream come true? A story about lasting friendships and overcoming challenges.
The Book 2: Save Us
Save Us' is a wonderful story about a Seal, Whale and Sea Turtle that addresses the problem of plastic causing problems to our sea creatures.
The inspiration for writing this story is a result of watching the BBC Blue Planet 2 with David Attenborough. Plastic pollution is set to treble in a decade unless action is taken to deal with the problem. I feel that it is vitally important that we educate our children from a young age to help look after our Oceans and environment.
The Book 3: Mohna Lot
Monah's moans are a cry for help. A great way of helping children to learn how to express their feelings, show kindness and realise that we are all different.

Christmas won't be Christmas unless Little Bear can find the silver star. Celebrate with this magical holiday story in the bestselling Old Bear series, written by award-winning author/illustrator, Jane Hissey.
It's nearly Christmas, and Old Bear and the other toys are putting the finishing touches on the tree. But something's missing: the shining silver star that always goes on top. And time is running out before Father Christmas arrives! Little Bear is so worried that he wakes up in the middle of the night and climbs into the attic to find it. Then an open window, a gust of wind, and the sight of newly fallen snow send him off on a wintry adventure . . . and he drops the star. It looks as if they won't have the most important decoration after all--until someone special saves the day.
Author/Illustrator Bio:
Jane has always loved writing and drawing. Throughout much of her childhood she lived in Norfolk and wandered the fields and lanes with pencil and sketchbook.
She studied illustration and design in Brighton, where she met her husband, Ivan, who is also an illustrator. After college, they settled in Sussex and Jane taught art for a few years before leaving to have her first child, Owen. Since then she has had two more children; Alison and Ralph, and has written and illustrated over 20 picture books.
She prepares a dummy book of rough sketches before she begins the finished drawings. For these she draws first in pencil then, using coloured pencils, she builds up layers of colour, adding details towards the end. Each drawing takes many, many hours and a whole book can take a year.

The baby bear learns that love is in all the little things, just as much as in those three magic words, ‘I love you.’ Once Boodles understands, all the comforting thoughts and happy memories wrap around him like a warm, snuggly blanket, and he’s ready to go to sleep.

A tiny and helpless Magical Creature lost far from home leads the O’Hero-Smith children on another Starcrossing adventure through the Which Ways and across the galaxy. The children have a plan to get little Bug back to the fiery-ice planet where it belongs, and to prove to their parents that they can be trusted with Magic along the way…
But a witch’s curse, venomous snowsnakes and a gang of fighter robots are waiting for them through the Which Ways.

The Author:
Jason has recently started writing children’s books, in stark contrast to his twenty five year career as a news journalist. Until now, most of his creative output has been in the fields of film and photography.
Jason started his professional life as a radio journalist for Chiltern Radio in 1994 and has been working in the field ever since.
By the late-1990s, he was working full-time at the BBC, where he spent 10 years as a newsreader and presenter at 5Live and for the past 10 years has been a newsreader on Radio 2 and 6Music, as well as a producer on Radio 4 news bulletins.
He has also worked for BBC Breakfast News and been a TV reporter for the BBC News Channel.
With a special interest in film, he has also reported for Radio 2, Radio 4, 5live, 6Music and the BBC website from the Golden Globes, the Oscars and the Cannes Film Festival, as well as from Raindance and the LFF in London and the film festival in Edinburgh.
But it was the arrival of children that turned him on to writing books, frustrated as he was at some of those he found himself reading to them. Following the mantra that “you can’t do something for one and not the other,” his first two books were written for his own children:

The Book:
In the land of Willigrew, silliness rules! Long ago, in the distant future, in a place not far below the earth and not all that far above it, there lived a small tribe of creatures. Or should that be a tribe of small creatures? Anyway, the tribe was small and so were the creatures. They were called 'The Willigrews' which was strange because not one of them was called Willie, and they never grew, which was why they were so small . . .
The Author:
After bravely fighting illness for some time, Terry, sadly passed away in October 2022
Terry worked for many years in the retail furniture trade, but has also been a postman, a milkman, an ice-cream seller and manager of a pet cemetery (a job he soon decided was not for him).
He loved gardening, reading and writing.
He blamed Spike Milligan, The Goon Show and Monty Pythons Flying Circus for the level of humour in his tall tales.
Terry was a strong supporter of Children in Read and will be sadly missed.

Book Blurb:
It’s now 35 years since first publication of Penny Dale's warm, funny and much-loved take on the bouncy bedtime rhyme of 'Ten in the Bed'. With ten in the bed, it's a bit of a squeeze! Roll over, roll over! But the little one gets cold all alone, and soon all ten are snuggled up and fast asleep. Children will love reading this famous rhyme and shouting out the crash, thud and bump noises – bedtime has never been such fun!
To celebrate the anniversary and to support Children in Read, Penny has added a signed, giclee print of Ten in the Bed Fast Asleep to her lot.
The Author:
Penny Dale is an internationally known, best-selling children’s book artist and author and has sold more than 5 million books, with editions in over 20 languages. Her much-loved picture book Ten in the Bed has sold over two million copies worldwide. Her other titles have also met with great success: Bet You Can’t and Once There Were Giants were included in the UK SATS booklist for many years, and Once There Were Giants was chosen as one of the Guardian’s Best Children’s Books Ever. Rosie’s Babies (also written by Martin Waddell) won the Best Book for Babies award and was also shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1990. Penny is married, has one grown-up daughter and a grandson and lives in South Wales.

It’s now 35 years since first publication of Penny Dale's warm, funny and much-loved take on the bouncy bedtime rhyme of 'Ten in the Bed'. With ten in the bed, it's a bit of a squeeze! Roll over, roll over! But the little one gets cold all alone, and soon all ten are snuggled up and fast asleep. Children will love reading this famous rhyme and shouting out the crash, thud and bump noises – bedtime has never been such fun!
To celebrate the anniversary and to support Children in Read, Penny has added a signed, giclee print of Ten in the Bed Fast Asleep to her lot.
The Author:
Penny Dale is an internationally known, best-selling children’s book artist and author and has sold more than 5 million books, with editions in over 20 languages. Her much-loved picture book Ten in the Bed has sold over two million copies worldwide. Her other titles have also met with great success: Bet You Can’t and Once There Were Giants were included in the UK SATS booklist for many years, and Once There Were Giants was chosen as one of the Guardian’s Best Children’s Books Ever. Rosie’s Babies (also written by Martin Waddell) won the Best Book for Babies award and was also shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1990. Penny is married, has one grown-up daughter and a grandson and lives in South Wales.

Genre: Children - Zoology
Format: Hardback
Dedication Available: YES
Postage & Packaging: FREE
Bids Accepted: UK Only

Book Blurb:
The bundle is made up of Deadly & Dangerous and Ben's latest book Weird & Wonderful.
Perfect for animal-lovers everywhere! These beautiful, crossover books are perfect for all ages.
Facts and descriptions provide insight into a curated collection of birds and animals - some endangered and some less so - told from the perspective of a detail-obsessed illustrator.
Fun to read together or independently, let the secrets of the animals on our planet come to life in vibrant detail.
These books are my love letter to Planet Earth; a celebration of her hidden species, from the bold and the beautiful to the interesting but ugly. And while not a complete list, I hope that these few give a glimpse of the outstanding diversity of nature
Author & Illustrator Bio:
Ben Rothery is a detail-obsessed illustrator from Norwich, via Cape Town. He combines multiple processes to create intricate and delicate illustrations and repeating patterns, full of fine detail and vibrant colour.
Much of Ben's work is inspired or informed by his love of nature - he grew up wanting variously to be a shark, dinosaur or David Attenborough crossed with Indiana Jones, but settled upon illustration as a compromise that allowed him to bring those fantasies to life on paper. In 2021 he won the prestigious Silver Pencil Award for Hidden Planet, and his work is published throughout the world.
Ben works from a small but perfectly formed studio in London, which he shares with an unnecessarily large collection of very sharp pencils.

How would you feel if you were born on Mars, were the most famous person in the Solar System, but could never leave the Red Planet?
Mars. 2045.
My name's Eva, and I’m a Martian.
Well, technically the first Martianborn human - I’m not, like, green or anything.
So listen, we’re in trouble here; I need to steal a rover to rescue Dad, who’s stuck in a mining vent, in a planet-wide dust-storm, far from our base, or he'll die. He may even be already dead.
Oh, and I’m Type 1 Diabetic with no insulin. Wish me luck.
With a Type 1 Diabetic main character, Ghosts of Mars explores how life beyond Earth, and the fame and scrutiny that come with it, affects the young people involved, who didn't sign up for life on Mars. Ten percent of author profits go to Diabetes UK.

Sometimes at the darkest hour,
Hope shines the brightest…
When Col’s childhood imaginary friends come to life, he discovers a world where myths and legends are real. Accompanied by his guardians – a six-foot tiger, a badger in a waistcoat and a miniature knight – Col must travel to Blitz-bombed London to save his sister.
But there are darker forces at work, even than the Nazi bombings. Soon Col is pursued by the terrifying Midwinter King, who is determined to bring an eternal darkness down over everything…
Book 2 Blurb: THE CHIME SEEKERS
Step into a world of faery tricks and hidden danger…
When an evil faerie steals Yanni’s baby sister and swaps her for a Changeling, Yanni is swept into a dangerous race against time to get her back.
For faeries delight in tricks and rescuing her won’t be easy. With the help of his cousin, Amy, and the reluctant Changeling, Yanni must travel to goblin palaces and battle-swept oceans, discovering ancient treasures and secrets along the way.
Yanni will need every drop of courage and even a few tricks of his own, if he’s to outwit the faerie and save his sister…
Book 3 Blurb: SPELLSTONE
The greatest magic is hidden in plain sight...
Evie is used to not being noticed. But when she meets the mysterious Wainwright, she discovers that going unnoticed might just be what makes her unique. Recruited into a secret magical organization, Evie finds herself at the heart of an ancient and magical battle. Evil is returning to the land, and Evie is the only person who can stop it. But how can she defeat the most dangerous magician in the world, when she doesn’t even know her own powers?

Author Bio:
Ross Montgomery has worked as a pig farmer, a postman and a primary school teacher, so writing books was the next logical step. He spent his childhood reading everything he could get his hands on, from Jacqueline Wilson to Beano annuals, and it taught him pretty much everything that's worth knowing. He has now written over twenty books for children, including THE MIDNIGHT GUARDIANS, which was shortlisted for the Costa Book Award 2021 and selected as one of The Guardian’s Children’s Books of the Year. He lives in London with his wife, a cat called Fun Bobby, and a cactus on every available surface.

Book details:
Details in general:
A range of gently-told but immensely informative picture books by Jon Roberts and Hannah Rounding that tell the stories of a number of children with a variety of disabilities inspired by the real-life experiences of Kya, Jon's daughter who is on the autistic spectrum, and some of her friends.
Lilly & Myles: The Torch
Accompanied by Myles, her assistance dog, Lily sets off from Granny’s house to explore. First she walks through the garden, then she visits the seashore. But when she comes to the big cave at the end of the beach her acute hearing means she is scared of the loud noise when she drops her torch. And what’s that creature she can hear coming towards her?
Through the Eyes of Me
Through the Eyes of Me is a beautiful, colourful, illustrated book for children that allows a glimpse into the world of a child with autism. Readers will meet 4-year-old Kya who loves to run, read, look at … and rip up … stickers. Discover why Kya does certain things, doesn’t like some things, and really, really loves other things.
See What I Can Do
Every child is different. Some are loud, they love talking and showing off. Others are quiet and like to be on their own. Some have disabilities that you can see, while others have disabilities that may not be so obvious. We are all unique. We all have our own lives, our own dreams, and our own talents. Let’s see what we can do.
Author bio:
I am Jon Roberts, a children's author driven by the profound inspiration drawn from my remarkable 11-year-old daughter, Kya, who happens to have autism. Her extraordinary outlook on the world has become the catalyst fuelling my fervour for crafting stories that impart understanding and empathy regarding autism and disability.
The heart of my literary endeavours lies in books that revolve around autism and disability, seeking to cultivate understanding, empathy, and inclusivity. Through the art of storytelling and vivid illustrations, I've delved into diverse facets of autism, presenting the distinctive perspectives, strengths, challenges, and talents of the characters within my books.

So when his chance of happiness is dashed by Princess Chipolata, after she is caught by the two wise ghosts stealing the crown jewels and is sent to prison, the king is still left feeling miserable.

PRAISE FOR THE WISHKEEPER'S APPRENTICE
“Full of wonder and magic.” Abi Elphinstone
Author Bio:
I was born in 1990 in Belfast. Growing up, my greatest wish was to become a published children’s author. Now that wish has come true, I’m planning on making more wishes… possibly involving a puppy or a lifetime’s supply of cinnamon buns.
I studied English Literature at Trinity College, Oxford and have a Masters in Creative Writing from Queen’s University, Belfast. I previously worked in book publishing, and wrote my debut, The Wishkeeper’s Apprentice, during maternity leave.
I live in London with my husband, two young sons and far too many books.

Wanted! A wishkeeper's apprentice.
When Felix makes a very special wish, he doesn't expect to be offered a job as an apprentice to wishkeeper Rupus Beewinkle. Now Felix must save the town's wishes from the wishsnatcher, who wants to destroy hopes and dreams everywhere.
Beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Rachel Sanson.
PRAISE FOR THE WISHKEEPER'S APPRENTICE
“Full of wonder and magic.” Abi Elphinstone
Author Bio:
I was born in 1990 in Belfast. Growing up, my greatest wish was to become a published children’s author. Now that wish has come true, I’m planning on making more wishes… possibly involving a puppy or a lifetime’s supply of cinnamon buns.
I studied English Literature at Trinity College, Oxford and have a Masters in Creative Writing from Queen’s University, Belfast. I previously worked in book publishing, and wrote my debut, The Wishkeeper’s Apprentice, during maternity leave.
I live in London with my husband, two young sons and far too many books.

Book Blurb:
Polly’s house has felt empty for months but today is the day that all changes. Her mum is taking her to a rescue centre to adopt two rabbits for them to take home. Polly isn’t sure what ‘adopt’ means until she sees how many rabbits there are that have been lost or given away. They need our help!
Honey & Sugar Get Adopted is a lovely children's story that emphasises our need to rescue animals instead of buying them from a pet store. Thousands of animals a day are currently being brought into rescue centres needing a home. Follow Polly's story and learn as she learns the true meaning of family and how to respect our animal's differences!
Author Bio:
Although Georgina Day works full time in business, she spends every spare moment contributing what she can to animal welfare and sharing this with the younger generation through her writing. When she's not being an 'animal mum' to rescue animals and a pony, she also volunteers as a Veterinary Auxiliary for animal charities. She lives in Surrey, England with her (very understanding) partner and their menagerie!

Book Blurb:
It is nearly Christmas and Suzie is beginning to get excited.
But there is lot’s to do before Santa arrives and Christmas day is upon them.
Suzie needs to write her letter to Santa, go out with Daddy and buy a Christmas tree and much, much more.
Do you love Christmas as much as Suzie?
Well if so, why not snuggle down, keep warm and enjoy reading all about Suzie and her family as they prepare for Christmas day.
Author Bio:
Suzie came to life during my college days when I (Charlotte) trained as a Nursery Nurse doing my NNEB.
After giving up my job last year as a Teaching Assistant, I thought I would get back into writing and share Suzie with other children and parents and carers.
Some of her adventures are based on my own experiences and hurdles that we have overcome with my own children. The idea is that the stories can be of a learning and discussion aid to help other children cope with new situations found in most families.
Also they are simply fun; parents and carers can relate to them too.
I do hope that you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed writing them and Suzie becomes part of your family too!

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
