Title: Kindness Rocks
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback - (First Edition)
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
A heartwarming self-discovery journey where a rock star learns that the path to true fulfillment is paved with acts of compassion and connection.
Meet Jonny Heart, a rock star whose melodies bring happiness to all who hear them. When offered stardom by the charismatic Fat Cat, Jonny dives into a whirlwind of fame, glitter, and music. Yet, amidst the glitz, Jonny begins to miss the simple joys of life. An unexpected encounter with Busky Soul, a homeless bear, sets Jonny on an extraordinary journey, as he bridges his passion for music with the power of compassion.
Author Sheryl Webster and illustrator Robert García beautifully unfold a heartwarming tale that inspires readers of all ages to spread joy through acts of kindness. Join Jonny on his quest of self-discovery, and let this enchanting story remind you that sometimes, the smallest gestures can create the most significant impact.
The Author:
Sheryl is a children's author from Liverpool, where she lives, not far from the River Mersey, with her husband and four children.
She writes books that are dynamic, witty and heartwarming, and that will empower, inspire and make a difference - by informing and creating awareness of important issues.
Before becoming a children’s author, she gained a degree in Psychology and English, then taught in elementary/primary schools for several years.
During a career break to have her first child, her first picture book was published. She now has over 30+ titles published and translated worldwide.
A big highlight for her was having her picture book, 'Kindness Rocks,' featured on a billboard in Times Square, NYC.
Now that her small brood of children are not so small, Sheryl writes full time, and is enjoying writing more than ever!
She finds inspiration for her stories in lots of things, but especially through music, which she feels is the universal language of us all.
Just like a good book, music can be a source of inspiration and expression!

The Book;
Siggy Loves Sausages
Can Siggy Keep His Word? Will this sweet little sausage dog be able to resist his favourite tasty temptations, stay true to his pledge, and save a Big Birthday Surprise?
Join Siggy, as he learns about the happiness that comes from keeping promises, during his romp through a fast and fabulous adventure that takes him into the deep dark woods, where magic sometimes happens...

Title 1: The Sea of Discovery
Title 2: The Adventurers and the Highland Hideaway
Genre: Children Middle Grade
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: Global
Book 1:
A secret hidden deep under the sea is about to surface…
Arriving in Greece on the trail of a missing friend, The Adventurers land themselves in a mystery filled with suspense. An ancient map has been discovered, but where does it lead? Who are the menacing figures pursuing them at every turn?
Join Lara, Rufus and the gang as they set sail for an island-hopping escapade!
Book 2;
For generations, treasure hunters have targeted a rundown mansion in the Scottish Highlands, intent on plundering its hidden riches.
When the Adventurers arrive for Uncle Logan’s surprise wedding just days away, the clock is ticking to unravel Hideaway’s ancient secrets and save the estate from ruin.
The Author:
Hello! My name is Jemma, and I write stories for the young and the young at heart!
Over the years I’ve lived and worked in London, Exeter, New York and Delaware, and am now living close to where I grew up in Sevenoaks, Kent.
I’m best known for The Adventurers Series, featuring a group of children and their Border collie as they travel everywhere from Cornwall to Cairo in search of treasure, adventure and fun! The series has been translated into Estonian, Finnish, Polish and Spanish to date, and won the inaugural Children’s Selfies Award in 2020.
In 2023 Secrets at No.6 was released: the first book in my new mystery series set in Edwardian London.
Previously in 2021 my first non-Adventurers book, The Treasure of Tea Towers, was published by Klett Sprachen in Germany.
Reading has always been one of my favourite things to do; during reading hour at primary school I would become so absorbed in imaginary worlds that at the end my name would have to be called several times before I’d notice! One teacher even arranged a hearing test for me! (My hearing was fine – my listening skills, not so much!)
A good book becomes like an old friend, being revisited again and again. I hope to entertain young readers with adventures and laughs to enjoy alongside the characters.

Title: The Invincibles
Genre: Fantasy - Children(Middle -Grade)
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
A magical kingdom. Four friends. One terrible mistake...
In the Land of Magic, four friends live a life filled with wonder. But there's one rule they must not break: never set foot on the Island of Darkness. So, when one child does the unthinkable, they must all pay a terrible price - exile to Wasteland, the bleak world where only grown-ups live.
For Grace, this fate is particularly cruel. She wakes up with no memory of her magical home, or how she ended up here - and the only clue to her past is guarded by two hostile and mysteriously invisible children.
As Grace uncovers the Invisibles' secrets, she must work out a way to return home, before Wasteland traps her forever...
The Author:
By the time she hit her teens, Susie Bower had lived in 8 houses and attended 7 schools. This theme continued in her working life: she's been a teacher, a tour-guide, a typist, a workshop facilitator, a PA and a painter. She formerly wrote and directed TV programmes for children at the BBC and Channel 4, and she currently writes audio scripts for use in primary schools. Susie lives in Bristol, UK.

Title: Hoglets' Birthday Surprise
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
It's the Summer holidays!
Hoglets, Prickles and Primrose are busy exploring when they stumble across... a witch!
Terrified she'll eat them for breakfast, the hoglets prepare to escape but soon realise the witch isn't scary at all.
Willow the witch is lonely and in need of a friend.
Can the hoglets hep her?
If you love Winnie the Pooh, you'll love the hoglets, Prickles and Primrose of Briar Wood.
The Author:
Lynette was born in London, but raised in Burnley, Lancashire. From the tender age of five she lived with her grandmother who gave her books to keep her quiet. Lynette found she had a passion for reading and started writing once she began school.
Lynette’s inspiration came from childhood books written by Enid Blyton. The Enchanted Wood and The Faraway Tree were her first taste of fantasy. In adulthood, Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Series captured her own vivid imagination.
Her first novel Sinners of Magic won her acclaim and the story soon turned into a trilogy. With readers begging for more Lynette ended the series with a spin off story featuring a windigo.
Wishing to be a multi-genre author, Lynette turned her pen to romance. Her two novels: Cracks in the Glass and Two Kinds of Truth were a huge hit with readers.
Returning to her love of short story writing, Lynette entered the 2019 SWWJ (Society of Women Writers and Journalists) competition. A Slice of Cake – a light-hearted story about her five year old granddaughter came runner up.
In 2020 Lynette launched a compilation of short stories. Most having won popular writing competitions.
Later this year, Lynette is breaking out of her comfort zone with the release of her new children’s book. Hoglets’ Christmas Magic is a delightful tale starring two adorable hedgehogs. The book is due for publication 28th August by White Rabbit Books.
Lynette lives in North East Lincolnshire with her husband. All her grandchildren are the apple of her eye.

Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Join the one and only Clarice Bean and ‘Think Like an Elf’ in this irresistible and spectacularly sparkling Christmas story from the inimitable Lauren Child.
Clarice Bean usually looks forward to Christmas.
Except this year it is going to be a quiet-ish Christmas in her house, which doesn’t feel right because Christmas is all about noisiness and being full up and FAMILY.
And without those things, she is going to have to try exceptionordinarily hard to stop the Christmas spirit completely floating away…
But luckily, there is no one in the world like Clarice Bean – and she is going to THINK LIKE AN ELF, and that means everything will be A-OKAY. Won’t it?
The one and only Clarice Bean is back to save her family’s Christmas in this sparkling story of joy, goodwill to all peoplekind, and some very Clarice catastrophes, perfect for sharing with all the family! Wrap yourself in the warmth and wit of former Children’s Laureate Lauren Child and be transported by the love and laughter that is Christmas with the utterly irreplaceable Clarice Bean.
The Author:
Lauren Child MBE is an English author and illustrator. She was the UK Children's Laureate from 2017-19.
Lauren grew up in Wiltshire as the middle child of three sisters and the daughter of two teachers. She has always been interested in the many aspects of childhood, from gazing into toy shop windows to watching American children's shows from the 1960s. After attending two Art Schools, she travelled for six months, still unsure about which career to embark upon.
Before writing and illustrating children's books Lauren started her own company 'Chandeliers for the People' making lampshades. It was only when she came to write and illustrate the book Clarice Bean, That's Me that she decided to devote her time to writing and illustrating books for children, which combines her fascination for childhood and her talent for designing and creating. Lauren gets her inspiration from other people's conversations or from seeing something funny happen.
Her book I Will Not Ever Never Eat A Tomato won the 2000 Kate Greenaway Medal. For the 50th anniversary of the Medal (1955–2005), a panel named it one of the top ten winning works, which comprised the shortlist for a public vote for the nation's favourite. It finished third in the public vote from that shortlist.
Lauren lives in North London.

Title 1: The Search For Carmella
WATERSTONES BEST BABY & TODDLER BOOKS OF 2024
"Captivatingly detailed. The slow, delicious tension builds in breathtaking illustrations. A huge hit." Irish Examiner
"Entrancing" Belfast Telegraph
A stunning tale where myth meets science and magic.
Ever since Dr Rose was a little girl paddling in rock pools, she has always loved the sea and exploring the weird and wonderful creatures living there. Now, as a marine biologist, Dr Rose is in search of a sea creature rumoured to reside within its hidden depths; one that many speak of, but no one has ever seen – Carmella. With her team of scientists and explorers, she will descend to the unfathomable dark of the deep ocean in a slick submersible, to discover the incredible, and almost unbelievable, creatures that inhabit a nearly pitch-black world.
Title 2: The Search For Our Cosmic Neighbours
"Savage probes limitless space in this beautiful and philosophical story. Seamlessly blending scientific exploration with a great adventure full of humour, this is a brilliant picture book." - The Bookseller
"send(s) a subtle yet potent message that science and space exploration are for everyone. Clever, funny, and worth discussing." - STARRED Kirkus Review
Join Chloe Savage - winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2024: Best Illustrated Book - on a journey across the cosmos with Commander Julia, her team of Astro scientists and her trusty dog, Khan, as they search for life in the stars. Travelling for ten years in their packed spaceship, they visit countless moons and planets of every size and colour, searching for the answer to the greatest question of all: "Are we alone?"
And, just as they’re about to give up … Khan leads them to an incredible discovery - the existence of a (friendly!) alien race. Getting to know this welcoming species calls into question everything these space explorers have ever known – about what to do next, who they are, and what it means to have a home...
Sure to be a favourite for aspiring astronauts and will inspire a love of science, space exploration, and nurture curiosity in the solar system and our galaxy, and beyond. This book is filled with Chloe’s incredible trademark detail – space stations, spaceship cross-sections, and underground crystal caves.
The Artemis III mission aims to land astronauts on the moon in 2026 … and, after that, what’s next?

Format: Paperbacks
Signed: Dedications are Available,
Bids Accepted: UK only
Title 1:The Peculiar Tale of the Tentacle Booy
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!
Title 2: Son of the Sea
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:
Richard's debut novel, The Peculiar Tale of the Tentacle Boy, won the inaugural Times/Chicken House Chairman's Choice Award in 2019 and was longlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2022. His love of storytelling started at a young age, through a passion for literature but also for cinema. Two of his greatest childhood influences were Roald Dahl and Tim Burton, who both possess a wickedly dark sense of humour.

Title: Every Shade of Happy
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Algernon is at the end of his life.
His granddaughter is at the start of hers.
But they have more in common than they think...
Every day of Algernon's 97 years has been broken up into an ordered routine. That's how it's been since the war, and he's not about to change now.
Until his 15-year-old granddaughter arrives on his doorstep, turning Algernon's black-and-white life upside down. Everything from Anna's clothes to the way she sits glued to her phone is strange to Algernon, and he's not sure he likes it.
But as the weeks pass, Algernon is surprised to discover they have something in common after all – Anna is lonely, just like him. Can Algernon change the habits of a lifetime to bring the colour back into Anna's world?

Title 1- WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous!
Title 2: WARNING: May Contain Dragons!
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedications are available
Bids Accepted: UK only
Title 1- WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous!
Tyler isn't thrilled to be spending yet another mundane afternoon at Great Uncle John's. And that's putting it mildly! But after his visit sparks a chain of inexplicable events, he delightedly discovers magic at his fingertips.
Being able to conjure up a swimming pool and a wodge of cash are certainly perks. Yet the magic proves tricky to control. What's more, it seems to be irreversible.
Unable to properly harness his new-found powers, Tyler ends up getting those around him into all manner of mischief and mayhem. And when things begin to go catastrophically wrong, he fears magic is a curse, rather than a blessing. Will normality ever be restored, or will Tyler be forced to adapt to his new, altered reality forever? It all depends on whether he's able to find Lottie's loophole...
Title 2: WARNING: May Contain Dragons!
Dragons are make-believe, right? Wrong! As Willow is about to find out...
When Willow's mum drops a bombshell on Christmas Eve, Willow doesn't think things can get any worse.
Until a dragon kidnaps her little brother!
With her dad busy and her mum absent, she enlists the help of her friends to track down and avenge the monstrous beast. But they soon find themselves out of their depth. Will Willow ever see her brother again? Will she and her friends live to tell the tale? And how will the already struggling village of Harmony survive a dragon onslaught... if there really are dragons living there?
Author:
B. Ware is the pseudonym used by Jo Stacey when writing children’s books.
Born in August 1976, Jo was fortunate enough to spend the first eighteen years of her life just a stone’s throw from Dumpton Gap beach in the picturesque coastal town of Broadstairs. She always feels most at home when she’s close to the sea, and loves nothing more than lying on a beach somewhere, lost in a good book.
An avid reader from a young age, Jo’s childhood dream was to become an author. Her love of writing evolved whilst she was a pupil at Upton Junior School (Broadstairs). At night, she’d often read by torchlight under the bedclothes – or scribble story ideas into old exercise books – when she was supposed to be fast asleep! During secondary school break times and lunchtimes, she’d collaborate with friends to write murder mysteries before acting them out in the playground.
It wasn’t until she home-schooled her children during the COVID-19 lockdown that Jo's passion for creative writing was finally rekindled, and she wrote her first romance novel. Straight afterwards, she put pen to paper to complete the sequel. But with her children in mind, she then turned her hand to middle-grade fiction.

Two Great Books
Title 1: Magster and the Light of the Ladybird
Title 2: Magster and the Auriaku Koi
Genre: Middle-grade fantasy adventure.
Format: Paperbacks
Signed: Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: Global
Title 1: Magster and the Light of the Ladybird
Magster the Cockapoo and her human daddy, Paul, go for a walk in the woods. A mysterious stranger recruits her as a special agent for the Mystic Council of Mages. Her first mission is to protect the "Light of the Ladybird" and so their adventures begin. After a nail-biting duel, Magster's reputation as a force to be reckoned with is sealed; her work for the Mystic Council of Mages has only just begun.
Title 2: Magster and the Auriaku Koi
Magster and Paul are enjoying a quiet evening’s rest. Tomorrow morning, they are meeting Mandel the Mage to find out about Magster’s next mission.
An uninvited guest arrives at their house, that very evening and the plan has changed.
Magster and Paul soon learn that her next mission will be very different from her first and time is of the essence.
Once again, the enemies of the Mystic Council of Mages know more than they should and the fate of the Auriaku Koi hangs in the balance.
The Mystic Council’s next move must be decided soon, because it has become obvious that Titus and the Ghost Salamanders are never far behind and stealing these legendary, golden fish is not their only quest… they are coming after Magster, too!
The Author:
Kit created the Magster stories after a continuous number of dreams about his Cockapoo, Maggie, whom he was forced to be parted from, due to a break up in a relationship. Although the Magster character in his books is a composite, made up of 3 personalities from old dogs in Kit’s life, Kit stayed true to his dreams and in tribute to his beloved Maggie, he created a Cockapoo protagonist and named her with his old personal nickname…”Magster”

Title 1: The Whisperling
Title 2: Whisperling Twins
Genre: Children (Middle grade)
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK only.
Title 1: The Whisperling
‘When you're dead, you're dead. When you're gone, you're gone.
Unless, of course, you're not.
And that's where I come in.’
Bristol. The year is 1897, and Peggy Devona can speak with ghosts.
She hides her gift from those afraid of a girl with such powers, terrified of the secrets the dead could reveal through her. But when her best friend is accused of murdering her rich mistress, Peggy knows only she - a whisperling - can save her.
Peggy escapes to her uncle's psychic emporium in the city, seeking out new ghosts to help her solve Sally's case.
Yet time is running out, and each step towards uncovering the truth also brings Sally one step closer to the gallows. . .
Title 2: Whisperling Twins
From the author of the Branford Boase long-listed debut The Whisperling, comes the next adventure in the legacy...
Gloucester, 1918.
Nin and Lemon Esmond share a special bond. They're sisters - twins - whisperlings. Which means they have the power to speak with ghosts.
Britain is at war, and Lemon - the more daring of the pair - is frustrated that they have to stay at home. Surely they can use their special gift to help in some way?
Nin doesn't share her sister's need for adventure, but when they see reports of missing whisperlings in the papers, the twins know they must work together to solve what's happening...before they're next.
Yet what awaits them on the dark streets of Gloucester isn't simply an adventure, but a battle of their very own...
The Author:
Long-listed for the Bath Children's Novel award, Hayley Hoskins writes in the space between family and work, with much support from her writing group.
Mum to a teenage boy, she spends a disproportionate amount of time hoping that her son's life is far less complicated than those of the characters in her books, and trying to ensure he becomes a 'good egg'.
Originally from the Forest of Dean, Hayley lives with her family and hairy breeze-block of a dog in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Her debut children's novel, The Whisperling, was long-listed for the Branford Boase Award. The follow up, The Whisperling Twins, was published in summer 2024

Title: The Wood Where Magic Grows
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback
Signed: Dedication is Available
The Book:
'A charming fantasy about two children saving an endangered forest [...] Shepherd is a natural storyteller' - THE TELEGRAPH 5* review
'A warm, witty and wondrous adventure' - Maz Evans, author of WHO LET THE GODS OUT?
Have you ever looked at a tree and seen a face staring back? Maybe you spotted a knobbly brow or a knotty pair of eyes, or even a mossy beard? Well, next time you do, stop staring and say hello!
When Iggy discovers overgrown Wildtop Wood at the end of his new garden, he couldn't be more excited. A whole new world opens up for him and his brother Cal, high in the treetops, a world of tangled greenery and unexpected adventure.
But some say the wood is a place of danger and mystery. And as Iggy and Cal venture further into the trees, they hear whispers of a fading green magic, and scampering animals seem to be leading them to a secret deep at the heart of the wood. Could it be that the wood needs them just as much as they need it?
Are you ready to join the Treetoppers?
Then come on in - the Green is waiting!
The Author:
Andy is the author of the best-selling ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’ books, which have now been translated into 24 languages. The first book in the series was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, the Sheffield Book Award, and long-listed for the Blue Peter Book Award.
Growing up on the coast in England, Andy spent most of her time scribbling stories and messing about in boats. She now lives near Cambridge with her husband, her two sons and an absurd number of tiny dragons, and spends her spare time trying to figure out how to move this beautiful city closer to the sea.
Disclaimer: Please note, all dragon-growing is undertaken entirely at the grower’s own risk and Andy cannot be held responsible for any damage your dragon may cause.

Title 1: Starminster :
Astrid has lived in the rhubarb shed her whole life. The outside world is dangerous, Mama explains; she will understand when she’s older, but she cannot set foot beyond the door. Astrid longs to see the world; to meet other children; to live in the farmhouse with Mama. But what she longs for most of all is to see the stars.
Then one night, a stranger unlocks the shed: a stranger with wings. She has come to take Astrid to a secret city in the sky called London Overhead, far above the highest peak of the Shard. For Astrid, like her, is a Librae – and will soon grow wings of her own . . .
Astrid is swept into a breathtaking and magical world of new friendships, sweeping adventures and unimaginable discoveries at the ancient, beautiful school for Librae students: Starminster. But quickly she learns that all is not well in the glimmering city. And when rumours abound of missing children in London Underfoot, she begins to realise that Mama may have been right about the dangers waiting for Astrid all along .
Title 2: Starminster: The Month of Birthdays
Astrid has her wings at last. But to her dismay, unlike every other Starminster student, she cannot master the art of flight. Her wings fail her at every attempt – and soon the formidable new Starminster headmistress, Miss Angkasa, issues an ultimatum to Astrid. Learn to fly, or leave London Overhead forever.
Then the Month of Birthdays arrives: a time of celebration and festivity. There are trapeze displays, incredible treats – and a legendary series of games with a prize beyond Astrid’s wildest dreams.
Astrid knows she has to win; it’s the only way she can discover the truth about her wings, and secure her place in London Overhead. But the games are far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined – and someone is out to ensure Astrid never makes it to the end.

Title 1: The Tree That Sang To Me
Some feelings are so big, they're hard to express. . . A dyslexia-friendly, beautifully illustrated verse story of friendship, family and self-discovery, perfect for readers aged 9+. By the author of Wider Than the Sea, winner of the Eilís Dillon Award, KPMG Children's Books Ireland Awards 2024
"A beautifully told story of resilience" Irish Times
"With an uplifting ending, Kai's story will remain in your mind for a long time ... a fantastic read for a class group" Editor's Choice, Children's Books Ireland, Inis Magazine
When Kai's big sister Jen leaves the family home, Kai knows it's all his fault. His secret burns, but he tells no one, just keeps pulling at tufts of his hair. But in the broad branches of a wasteland sycamore tree, Kai feels safe and free from his worries. Up there he feels he can be whoever he wants to be. And when a girl called Sky starts climbing Kai's tree, a friendship blossoms ... a friendship with the power to heal.
Up here
it's like
I'm part of something else
the wind
the leaves
the air
free to be
whoever I want to be.
Title 2; Wider Than The Sea
The award-winning tale of a girl who feels broken, and the dolphin who makes her whole. A powerful story of friendship, hope and self-discovery, perfect for readers aged 9+, beautifully illustrated by George Ermos.
Winner of the Eilís Dillon Award for debut children's book at the KPMG Children's Books Ireland Awards 2024!
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.

I’m a children’s writer and I live in Galway, Ireland. As a mum of four, my house is always noisy but never, ever dull! I worked for a long time as an English teacher and I love helping children to discover the magic of books. I’ve also worked as a sixth century monk in a heritage park and as a burger-flipper in a fast food restaurant! I like writing stories about children who find themselves in difficult situations and have to find the courage to discover a way out. My stories are a celebration of empathy, neurodiversity and the power to change. I love poetry so I write my novels in verse, I think we are all poets deep down inside our hearts.

Book Title: Northern Boy
Genre: Coming of Age Fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Global
The Book:
Meet Rafi Aziz, an ABBA-loving ten-year-old growing up in early ‘80s Lancashire. Flamboyant, sensitive and confused about his feelings for the new boy in school, Rafi is a butterfly among the bricks.
He has to face bullies, challenge the shifting expectations of his eccentric mother and break out from the confines of his smalltown world if he is to be true to himself.
But Rafi isn’t prepared to leave his childhood behind without one final flourish of high kicks, a swish of sequinned cape and his impeccably Brylcreemed head held high.
The Author:
I studied Mathematics at a small Welsh university, far from the cobbled streets of my childhood. But I chose to earn a living with words. I worked as a journalist, on publications ranging from the Guardian to the Young Telegraph. In recent years, I've turned to fiction, writing short stories, often based on my cultural heritage. I have also written my first full work, Northern Boy, a coming-of-age novel about being a “butterfly among the bricks”. It will be published in Summer 2024 by Unbound Firsts.
I live in north London with my partner and our labradoodle Milo. When I'm not working on my writing or in my day job at a large City law firm, I enjoy long walks in Epping Forest, dreaming up new stories. I also compose music and would one day love to write an all-out Gothic musical version of Dracula.

Title: The Snowman who didn’t want to Melt.
Genre: Children
Format: Picture Book
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
A snowman wakes a brother and sister looking for help because he doesn’t want to MELT. What can they do to stop the snowman from disappearing? Find out how the children help him.
Another exciting adventure for children to read.
Perfect for bedroom, classroom and personal reading.
Interactive with children who can search for the hidden snowman in each picture.
The Author:
’m retired and live in South Wales, UK, born of a Welsh mother and Polish father. I’ve been writing for over thirty years and have written quite a lot of stories and books, some for my children when they were young. I now dedicate my books to my grandson, great nieces and great nephews.
My aim is always to write exciting, adventurous stories for children which will linger in their minds long after they read the books. Perhaps making them want to read them over and over, hopefully firing their own imaginations. If I can get a bit of humour into the stories, that’s great too.
There’s a theme to a lot of my books where the main character solves their own problem or joins forces with other characters to resolve problems.
Overall I want children to read my books to help overcome illiteracy, so on certain literary occasions in the year I may donate books to children, schools or hospitals, etc.

Two Great Books
Title 1: Into the Faerie Hill
Title 2: The Changeling Child
Genre: Middle-grade fantasy
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: Global
Title 1: Into the Faerie Hill
As soon as Alfred arrives at his granny's cottage, he feels like he's being watched. There are steep cliffs and dark forests all around, teeming with unfamiliar life - even odd little faerie creatures only Alfred can see. When free-spirited Saga bursts into his life, he begins to appreciate the beauty of these places that have always scared him.
But this special world is under threat: Alfred's dad is working on a project to dig a giant tunnel through the landscape for a motorway. As he joins Saga in the community protests against the plan, Alfred draws ever closer to the strange world of the faerie creatures, following a thread that seems to be leading him deep into secrets from his family's past.
Title 2: The Changeling Child
Return to the magical world of Faerie Hill in this fantastical middle grade adventure, for fans of Malamander by Thomas Taylor, Otherland by Louie Stowell and The Chime Seekers by Ross Montgomery.
Twelve years ago, a child vanished from his cradle. He was never seen nor spoken of again. Saga is desperate to discover what happened - did he really just disappear? Or was he whisked away to the Faerie kingdom, to be raised as one of their own?
As she searches for the truth, her best friend Alfred has his own vital mission. The mayor's relentless construction projects are devastating the natural world, and now the fearsome faeries want revenge. Only Alfred, a demi fae, can restore peace between the two realms.
But as he journeys deeper into the magical kingdom than ever before, the two friends start to suspect that the lost child could be the key to everything...

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,

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.

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.

Title: My Friend Billy Whiskers
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback - Picture book
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Global
The Book;
On a snowy day, while all the other children are playing together, Patrick sits alone. But Patrick isn’t really alone, because he has a friend called Billy Whiskers—a friend only he can see.
Together they ride bikes, climb trees, read stories, and chat about this and that. Billy doesn’t talk much, but he’s a very good listener. He listens when Patrick has worries to share and sometimes, when the worries get too big, they disappear off on magical adventures where anything feels possible. And Patrick returns feeling big and brave . . .
Brave enough that on this special snow day, he has the courage to say hello to the other children . . .
This powerful and sensitive new picture book from David Litchfield captures the magic of imaginary friendship, the power of empathy, and the importance of our friends—real or not—in helping us to navigate the world as we grow.
The Author:
David first started to draw when he was very young, creating Star Wars and Indiana Jones ‘mash up’ comics for his older brother and sister. Since then David’s work has appeared in magazines, newspapers, books and on T-shirts. He has also exhibited his illustrations in both solo and group shows in the U.K, Europe and America.
David’s author/illustrator picture books ‘The Bear & The Piano’ ‘Grandad’s Secret Giant’ ‘The Bear, The Piano, The Dog & The Fiddle’ ‘Lights On Cotton Rock’ and ‘The Bear, The Piano & Little Bear’s Concert’ and ‘Kid Christmas: Of The Claus Brothers Toyshop’ are all out now.
David has also illustrated a number of picture books and novels for authors such as Ross Montgomery, Gregory Maguire, David Almond and Smriti Halls as well as book covers for Kate Dicamillo, Neil Patrick Harris, Chloe Daykin and many more.

A Magical Trilogy
Title 1: The October Witches
Title 2: The November Witches
Title 3: The December Witches
Genre: Children
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Title 1: The October Witches
here's so much to love about October - Halloween, pumpkin everything and MAGIC. Especially magic. But for nervous young witch Clemmie, this October might see the stars descend on her for the first time, bringing with them a whole month of chaotic new power. She's spent twelve years watching her mum, aunts and cousin receive their October power and knows that, for the Merlyns, magic can get very messy.
And there are those who want to harness their magic and make it last beyond October. It's a bold experiment, until Clemmie and her coven find themselves in mortal danger. What price must be paid for magic that never ends? Or for having magic at all?
Title 2: The November Witches
No witch is excited about gloomy magic-free November apart from young hag Clemmie who is relieved to finally be done with October’s magical mess.
But if there’s no more magic, then where are all the armour-clad knights coming from? When even their enemy coven, the Morgans, don’t have any answers, the Merlyns are on the run.
Neither the Morgan or Merlyn covens want to burn so they will have to work together to solve the mystery of where the witch-hunting knights and the all-engulfing flames are coming from.
Will Clemmie be able to find her voice in time to save her family?
Continuing directly on from THE OCTOBER WITCHES, this NOVEMBER sequel is full of bonfires, knights, family disasters and one very important round table.
Title 3: The December Witches
There's so much to love about October - Halloween, pumpkin everything and MAGIC. Especially magic. But for nervous young witch Clemmie, this October might see the stars descend on her for the first time, bringing with them a whole month of chaotic new power.

Title 1: The October Witches
here's so much to love about October - Halloween, pumpkin everything and MAGIC. Especially magic. But for nervous young witch Clemmie, this October might see the stars descend on her for the first time, bringing with them a whole month of chaotic new power. She's spent twelve years watching her mum, aunts and cousin receive their October power and knows that, for the Merlyns, magic can get very messy.
And there are those who want to harness their magic and make it last beyond October. It's a bold experiment, until Clemmie and her coven find themselves in mortal danger. What price must be paid for magic that never ends? Or for having magic at all?
Title 2: The November Witches
No witch is excited about gloomy magic-free November apart from young hag Clemmie who is relieved to finally be done with October’s magical mess.
But if there’s no more magic, then where are all the armour-clad knights coming from? When even their enemy coven, the Morgans, don’t have any answers, the Merlyns are on the run.
Neither the Morgan or Merlyn covens want to burn so they will have to work together to solve the mystery of where the witch-hunting knights and the all-engulfing flames are coming from.
Will Clemmie be able to find her voice in time to save her family?
Continuing directly on from THE OCTOBER WITCHES, this NOVEMBER sequel is full of bonfires, knights, family disasters and one very important round table.

Title: The Matilda Effect
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Matilda loves science and inventing. Her heroes are Marie Curie, Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison, and one day she wants to be a famous inventor herself. So when she doesn’t win the school science fair, she’s devastated – especially as the judges didn’t believe she'd come up with her entry on her own. Because she's a girl.
When Matilda shares her woes with her Grandma Joss, she's astonished to learn her grandma was once a scientist herself – an astrophysicist, who discovered her very own planet. Trouble is, Grandma Joss was also overlooked – her boss, Professor Smocks, stole her discovery for himself. And he's about to be presented with a Nobel Prize.
Matilda concocts a plan. They'll crash the award ceremony and tell everyone the truth! So begins a race against time - and against Matilda's strict mum and dad! - on a journey through Paris, Hamburg and Stockholm, and on which they encounter a famous film star, a circus, and a wanted diamond thief...
The Author:
Ellie was born in Bristol, but raised in a hamlet on the outskirts of Southend-on-Sea, by a family of avid readers. So avid, in fact, her mum enrolled her in the local library before she'd even emerged from the womb, which was awkward for all concerned. As a child, Ellie had an unhealthy obsession with 'Murder, She Wrote' and when she was seven, convinced her parents to buy her a Petite Super International typewriter for Christmas, so she could be just like Jessica Fletcher. She has yet to solve any crimes.
After studying a 4 year Broadcasting Degree at the University of Leeds, Ellie realised there were too few home makeover shows in the world, and worked on a number of DIY and Garden programmes for UK Style. Ellie returned to studying and graduated from an MA in Screenwriting course at the London College of Communication in 2008. She lives in North London.

Book Title: The Wedding Engagement
Genre: rom com
Format: Paperback. First Edition
Signed: Yes, dedication is available
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book:
Planning a wedding with the man you’re secretly in love with… what could go wrong?
Liv Holland has a secret: she’s been crushing on Arran Adebayo, her brother’s best friend, for years. They’re ‘just friends’ but she can’t help the butterflies in her stomach whenever she’s around him.
When they’re asked to help plan festivities for Liv's brother's wedding, Liv and Arran can no longer deny the sparks between them. But with both having their own chequered romantic history, risking everything for love could mean losing each other forever…
As the wedding bells ring, will Liv and Arran finally find their own happy ever after?
The Author:
Zoe lives in Scotland with her husband, two children, and massive notebook collection—having been brought up in a mixed-race family in Yorkshire. Her favourite past times include reading, movies, music and pop culture, and walking into rooms and then forgetting what she went in there for.
Growing up, she always enjoyed stories about falling in love. But rather than daydreaming of being rescued by a knight in shining armour, she would imagine fighting dragons alongside him.
As an adult, she went to medical school and became a doctor. However as time passed, she began to crave a creative outlet to counter the burnout that her career inflicted upon her, and also to achieve the happy endings that were so often lacking in the real world.
A Zoe Allison novel promises a heroine who is not only her hero’s equal in ability and intellect, but whose hero equals her in emotional intelligence. Her characters overcome conflict infused with spine tingling sexual tension to forge a deep connection as soul mates as well as lovers, and ultimately, they both rescue each other emotionally. Even if they might begin their journey as enemies…

Bids Accepted: Global
Title 1: Wider Than The Sea
Winner of the Eilís Dillon Award for debut children's book at the KPMG Children's Books Ireland Awards 2024!
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.
Title 2:The Tree That Sang To Me
"A beautifully told story of resilience" Irish Times
"With an uplifting ending, Kai's story will remain in your mind for a long time ... a fantastic read for a class group" Editor's Choice, Children's Books Ireland, Inis Magazine
When Kai's big sister Jen leaves the family home, Kai knows it's all his fault. His secret burns, but he tells no one, just keeps pulling at tufts of his hair. But in the broad branches of a wasteland sycamore tree, Kai feels safe and free from his worries. Up there he feels he can be whoever he wants to be. And when a girl called Sky starts climbing Kai's tree, a friendship blossoms ... a friendship with the power to heal.
Up here
it's like
I'm part of something else
the wind
the leaves
the air
free to be
whoever I want to be.
The Author:
Born in Co. Wexford, Ireland, Serena worked in schools around the UK and Ireland as an English teacher. She now lives with her family in a small village outside Galway City where she can see the sea every day. As a mum of four, her house is always noisy but never, ever dull.
As a child with dyslexia, an inspirational teacher changed her life. Her novels are a celebration of neurodiversity, empathy and the power to change.

Bids Accepted: UK Only
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.
The Author:
Christina Gabbitas is a children’s author, poet, storyteller and voiceover artist, who always loved to read rhyming books and poetry in my early years. She penned some stories that she stored away in a box file twenty years ago, thinking that one day she would do something with them. Welcome to the World of Felicity Fly was born in 2012. The series has taken her into the final of the People's Book Prize 2014-2018, winning Best Achievement Award in May 2019.
Born in Blackburn, Lancashire where she spent the first twenty two years of her life, before moving to various parts of Yorkshire, where she now lives. (passports for both)
Christina is founder and trustee of Children's Literature Festivals charity, her patrons and ambassadors include musician Michael Bradley of The Undertones and Actress Jenny Agutter.
As a child she loved to read anything that rhymed. One of her earliest recollections of fun poetry was Spike Milligan’s Granny and also On The Ning Nang Nong. She loves Spike Milligan’s book Silly Verse For Kids.
She has always had a love of music and used to help the headmaster of her primary school tune the piano. She spent some of her teenage years playing saxophone and percussion with a band and supported a popular indie band at that time called The Chameleons. They played around venues in Lancashire and admits that she did look at little freaky!

Book One - BRONTE TEMPESTRA AND THE LIGHTNING STEEDS

Book Three - BRONTE TEMPESTRA AND THE WEATHER WITCH
Book Four - BRONTE TEMPESTRA AND THE VANISHING KINGDOM
Book Genre: Childrens Fantasy (7+)
Format: Paperback
Dedication available: Yes
Postage: UK only
Book One - BRONTE TEMPESTRA AND THE LIGHTNING STEEDS
The first book in a new fantasy adventure chapter book series, ideal for reading together at bedtime, featuring Bronte Tempestra, a spirited princess who would rather be a knight!
A fun-filled fantasy quest starring an unforgettable new hero: BRONTE TEMPESTRA.
Bronte Tempestra of the Storm Kingdom is taking charge of her own destiny - she will be the first ever princess to become a knight!
But knight school isn't the fun-filled adventure Bronte is expecting - the knights don't seem interested in saving . . . anything. And when she discovers that the Lightning Steeds have gone missing, leaving the Thunder Trolls to wreak havoc across the lands, she knows it's her moment to prove just how brave a princess can be.
Bronte must face down pompous griffin lords and bare-bottomed cloud-stealing gnomes, monstrous horrorflies and spooky zombits. The future of the entire kingdom is at stake!
It's time for the princess to rescue the knights!
Book Two - BRONTE TEMPESTRA AND THE ICE WARRIORS
Bronte Tempestra is back for another fun-filled adventure at Sir Sebastian's School for Squires!
When a snowstorm engulfs Sir Sebastian's at the end of the winter term, it looks like all the knights will be stuck at school for the holidays!
But Bronte suspects there's more to the weird weather than meets the eye . . . and when ice sculptures come to life it looks like she has another quest on her hands! As Bronte ventures through deep tunnels and into the heart of a blizzard to confront her frosty foes, can she show she's truly the knight she dreams of being?
Book Three - BRONTE TEMPESTRA AND THE WEATHER WITCH
Bronte Tempestra is back for another fun-filled adventure at Sir Sebastian's School for Squires!
Bronte and the other trainee knights at Sir Sebastian's School for Squires are visiting the Stones of Forgotten Secrets with the princesses from POOP (The Palace of Obedient and Outstanding Princesses). But the joint school trip is plagued by mysterious mist, which Bronte believes is the work of a weather witch.
With the camp in danger, it's up to Bronte and her friends to discover the witch's intentions - a quest that leads them to question history itself. Can Bronte uncover what is truly behind the chaos at camp and succeed in saving the day, like her hero Sir Pen Tine?
Book Four - BRONTE TEMPESTRA AND THE VANISHING KINGDOM
Bronte Tempestra is back for another fun-filled adventure at Sir Sebastian's School for Squires!
When Bronte hears that the Sun Beam has been stolen from her friend Ellie's kingdom, she feels certain that the Weather Witch is to blame. Will the realm's knights step forward and stop her once and for all? Or is it going to be down to Bronte to set things right again?
But when a sneaky midnight quest to the Vanishing Kingdom goes seriously wrong, Bronte finds herself far from Sir Sebastian's School for Squires and with little clue about how she's even going to get home.
Fortunately, Bronte has made herself some friends in high places, and together they just might be able to find their way back and save the day!
The final thrilling adventure in this fun-filled fantasy series for readers aged 7 and up, packed with illustrations. Perfect for fans of RAINBOW GREY and WITCH WARS.

Book title: Nephthys
Book genre: Historical Fiction
Format: Hardback
Signed: Dedication available: Yes
Postage: UK only
The Book
SISTER. RIVAL. PROTECTOR.
Victorian Egyptologist Clemmie’s dark talents have torn her family apart. Now she has one chance to atone for the past.
Quiet and reserved, Clemmie is happy in the background. Although her parents may overlook her talents, her ability to read hieroglyphs makes her invaluable at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society.
But at one such party, the words Clemmie interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The beautiful and dangerous glyphs she holds in her hands will change her life forever.
Five years later, Clemmie arrives in Egypt on a mission to save what remains of her family. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, has taken on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story that she can undo the mistakes of the past.
*Reveal the secret symbol of Nephthys when you take off the book jacket.*
The Author:
Rachel Louise Driscoll won the Curtis Brown Creative scholarship in 2020. Nephthys is her debut novel. She was inspired to write Clemmie's story by an experience she had at a local museum as a child where she was allowed to hold a mummified ancient Egyptian cat. Enjoying the hours of avid research required, Rachel even wrote some of the book wearing a corset in order to capture Clemmie’s experience more accurately!

Book title: Ice Dancer
Book genre: Children - Sports Outdoors
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is Available
Postage: UK only
The Book
A gripping adventure, with the power of friendship at its heart, Ice Dancer is the thrilling new story from Alex Cotter, author of The House on the Edge, WH Smith Travel Book of the Month
Angry and frustrated at having to stay with her miserable aunt in Sheffield, Dina is determined to pursue her lifelong passion for skating – even if it has to be in secret. But being a stranger in an unfamiliar city, far from the remote countryside of her home, is hard to handle. Shy and lacking in confidence, Dina must overcome her misgivings and find a way to be accepted.
Desperate to escape the oppressive atmosphere of her aunt’s house, and feeling the weight of responsibility for her younger brothers, Dina makes her way to the Ice Arena. There, captivated by the skills of the young skaters she sees, she is filled with the overwhelming desire to compete. But it’s only when all the odds are against her, that she finds the courage to follow her dream.
However, dreams can unravel, and when the family’s past starts to catch up with Dina, a chance encounter at the ice rink sets off a series of events that lead to an unexpected discovery.
The Author:
Alex Cotter spent most of her childhood living in stories, to escape the perils of being permanent ‘new girl’ in schools across Chester, Luton, Sheffield and Middlesbrough. After studying English at Essex University, Alex went on to make a make a living from words: from bookselling at W.H.Smith and publicising The Booker Prize to copywriting and teaching creative writing.
Alex now lives near Bath with her family in an old, crumbly house, with cobwebs, creaky floorboards and, who knows, possibly also a few ghosts.

Title:: Ready Eddie Go! The Birthday Party: Finding out about parties with friends!
Book genre: Children
Format: Hardback
Signed: Dedication is Available
Postage: UK Only
Title 1: Ready Eddie GO
Developed from the Ready, Eddie, Go! animated TV show, each book in this series highlights an area that autistic children find challenging and provides gentle and supportive strategies to help children find ways of coping, which all children can benefit from. The books use clear structure as well as visuals to help readers understand the story and identify strategies that may help when they face similar experiences. There are prompts and interactive elements that can be followed independently, or with a trusted adult.
In this book, Eddie goes to his friend Nina's birthday. He finds out what to expect, and what to do if things become overwhelming. Eddie realises that parties can be a lot of fun!
Beautifully illustrated, and presented in Eddie's trademark friendly voice, the Ready, Eddie, Go! series is designed to speak directly to young autistic children and to provide them with the reassurance and advice they need to be happy day-to-day.
The Author:
Each Ready Eddie Go book offers gentle strategies to guide children through challenges like haircuts, birthday parties, and creative activities. The stories follow Eddie, a character inspired by Nikki's eldest son, Tyler, who was diagnosed with autism at age three. Tyler's questions about the world prompted Nikki to create Eddie as a way to offer positive representation and comfort.
Nikki explains that while the books focus on autism, all children can benefit from the coping strategies presented. The stories use visuals and clear structures to ensure children relate to Eddie's experiences and learn how to manage similar situations in their own lives.
Nikki says: "Thank you to my beautiful children, who are my inspiration. I am so grateful for everything that you have taught me and continue to teach me about our world. And to all the children who feel represented by Eddie: he sends you so much love, reassurance and a big hug through each book! X"

Book title: A Tree for Everyone
Book genre: Children
Format: Picture Book
Signed: Dedication is Available
Postage: UK only
The Book
... and they agreed that the tree really belonged to everyone!
Set around an old oak tree, two groups of children find themselves at odds with each other. As angry words halt their play, can the children find a way forward to share their special place and turn strangers into friends?
A heart warming story about the value of teamwork, second chances and the healing power of a meaningful apology.
The Author:
Kathy is a multilingual journalist and has been reporting on news,entertainmentand environmental stories for over a decade. She’s freelanced for British and international organisations,including Reuters, BBC and ITN. An avid reader since she was a child, Kathy grew up admiring the works of great storytellers and the imaginary worlds they created. But it was listening to the stories her dad would tell her as a child that prompted Kathy to make up stories for her own children. Her first picture book, Hop Lola Hop, was inspired by her eldest daughter’s favourite toy bunny, which they lost many, many times -during trips to the supermarket, walks in the park and even on a desert camel ride. A world nomad, Kathy has lived in the UK, US, Denmark, Germany and these days calls Dubai her home. Like Lola, Kathy loves to spend time outdoors. If she’s not busy doing school runs or working in her other job as radio producer, she likes to cycle, paint or write more adventures about one little toy bunny.

Book Title: The Last Day of October
Genre: Mysteries & Detective Stories for Children
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Bored with trick-or-treating, three friends venture into the woods on Halloween night to hunt for the haunted McBride House in this spine-tingling horror story from Phil Hickes.
If you go down to the woods today, you’re in for a nasty surprise …
Seeking creepy thrills instead of candy, Cody and his friends set out on Halloween to search for the ruins of the haunted McBride House in the woods near his home in Oregon.
The house has taken on a sinister legendary status after it burned down a hundred years ago with tragic consequences, and it’s said that the ghosts of the family who lived there return each year on the last day of October.
But when they find the house, the truth of what is happening on this eerie autumn night is more terrifying than the three teenagers could ever have imagined …
The Author:
I grew up in a cold, dark house in the north of England that overlooked a graveyard. It explains a lot I think. I've always had a fascination for things that go bump in the night and my reading - and later my writing - naturally veered in this direction.
I've so many favourite authors it seems unfair to single any out, but I do love Alan Garner and Susan Cooper. They made me believe that extraordinary things could happen to ordinary children. I was also very aware of landscape and seasons in their writing and this is something I try to emulate.
After stints in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand, I'm currently living in the Pacific Northwest of the US, which is rainy, misty and smells of pine. I like being both outdoors and indoors, depending on mood, activity and weather. Autumn is by far my favourite season
If you've read any books from the Aveline Jones or Shadowhall Academy series, thank you very much, I hope you enjoyed it!

Book Title: The Space Between
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback - Picture Book
Signed: Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Granny has a secret: big changes aren't so scary when we take comfort in the time it takes to embrace them
When her granddaughter is missing her old home, Granny teaches her a secret. The flower buds aren’t quite open, but they will be soon: they’re in the space between, and that time is a gift to treasure. Just like the flowers will soon bloom, in time she will feel at home. But Granny’s in the space between too . . . and she might need a little help to come out on the other side.
The Author:
Clare is a primary school teacher and children’s author who lives in South West England with her husband and two children. Clare does her best writing by the sea, which is lucky because she lives close to many beautiful beaches and the salty sea air.
When Clare isn’t writing stories she is inspiring children to write their own. Being a teacher gives Clare 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 but is particularly passionate about writing stories that help children deal with big feelings and difficult issues.
Clare is represented by Alice Williams of Alice Williams Literary.

The flower buds aren’t quite open, but they will be soon: they’re in the space between, and that time is a gift to treasure. Just like the flowers will soon bloom, in time she will feel at home. But Granny’s in the space between too . . . and she might need a little help to come out on the other side.
The Author:
Clare is a primary school teacher and children’s author who lives in South West England with her husband and two children. Clare does her best writing by the sea, which is lucky because she lives close to many beautiful beaches and the salty sea air.
When Clare isn’t writing stories she is inspiring children to write their own. Being a teacher gives Clare 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 but is particularly passionate about writing stories that help children deal with big feelings and difficult issues.
Clare is represented by Alice Williams of Alice Williams Literary.

Book Title: Swanfall
Genre: Children's Adventure
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Swanfall. A thrilling new adventure story inspired by Irish folklore from Sophie Kirtley, author of The Wild Way Home.
Pip lives with Mum in their isolated cottage on the wetlands. Just like every winter, Pip is waiting for the swanfall - when the flock of majestic Arctic swans return from Siberia on their annual migration. He knows every swan by their unique markings, and he loves to help Mum record the flock as they soar, shining through the sky, to their home. But this December, Pip's favourite three swans haven't appeared. Instead, Pip notices strange footprints in the snow, whispers on the wind and the sense that someone is watching him.
Something mysterious is afoot, and the adventure to discover the truth leads Pip to follow clues to an ancient curse that he had always believed was simply a fairytale .
The Author:
Sophie grew up in Northern Ireland, where she spent her childhood climbing on hay bales, rolling down sand dunes and leaping the raw Atlantic waves. Nowadays she lives in Wiltshire with her husband, three children and their mini-menagerie of pets and wild things. Sophie has always loved poems and stories: she taught English in secondary schools for many years and has worked in a theatre, a bookshop and a tiny pub where folk tell fairytales by candlelight. Sophie is a prize-winning poet and children’s author; her first book, The Wild Way Home, was shortlisted for the Joan Aiken Future Classics Prize.

Title 2: The Haunted Life of Delores Mackenzie
Genre: Children - Paranormal/Horror
Signed: Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: UK & Europe
Title 1: The Dark and Dangerous Gifts of Delores Mackenzie
When Delores Mackenzie is chased home by a restless spirit, she is sent to the mysterious Uncles in Edinburgh Old Town to learn how to control her unusual 'gifts'. Scared and alone, she finds her new home at the Tolbooth Book Store is full of curious surprises: some welcome, others less so. But when a sinister apparition threatens the lives of her strange new housemates, Delores must gather all her strength to save them.
Title 2: The Haunted Life of Delores Mackenzie
Paranormal students Delores and Prudence are being hounded by inquisitors after they broke the rules and helped rescue fellow student Maud from death at the hands of an evil spirit.
Cruel inquisitor Magoria Jepp is searching for secrets at their home in Edinburgh's Tol Booth Bookstore, but does she have an uncanny history of her own to hide? As Delores tries save them both, she attracts the unwelcome attention of a murderous Boçain, or evil spirit, intent on stealing her paranormal gifts. Can she defeat her enemies, and maybe her own family too, to save everyone she loves at the Tol Booth?
Author:

She grew up on a small island off the Cumbrian coast and spent lots of time huddled on blustery beaches with a book or three. She speaks Dutch (badly) after living in The Netherlands for ten years but is now based in the almost-wilds of Stirlingshire. When she’s not writing or reading spooky books, she’ll most likely be hiking or trail running in the nearby hills.

Title: HONEY AND SUGAR GET ADOPTED!
Genre: Children
Format: Picture Book
Signed: Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
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!
As Polly and her mum are taken through the back, they learn about the differences between rabbits and other animals, how to care for them and how they can make sure Honey and Sugar will be happy with Polly. These two small rabbits have been in the rescue centre for two years - it's time they found their way home.
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. Even more than that are currently in a home where their needs are not being met as their families don’t understand their animal’s natural behaviour. Rabbits are currently the third most loved companion animal (following cats and dogs), but are also the most misunderstood, mistreated and abandoned - something a lot of us struggle to explain to our children. Follow Polly's story and learn as she learns the true meaning of family and how to respect our animal's differences!
The Author:
‘Animal-Mum’ to many, Georgina says: “When I was growing up, a huge part of how I saw the world and my beliefs came from reading books of all kinds. I would take characteristics and traits from books and characters that I loved and emulate the positive behaviours from those that resonated with me. I think that still very much holds true today for children and reading. From my experience with working in Animal Welfare and charities, I can see how much there still needs to be done in terms of educating people about how animals should be respected for their individuality and allowed to show natural behaviour without us making them into something we want, rather than who they are.
My inspiration for this book was therefore to take that

Title: Didi, the Wolf and the Starry Tattoos
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Beautifully written and illustrated children’s book invites readers young and old to see the beauty in visible differences and to celebrate the uniqueness of every individual. This book is more than a story; it’s a message of hope, love, and connection.
At the heart of this powerful narrative is little Didi, a young girl is born with a rare skin condition called Congenital Melanocytic Naevus (CMN) – large dark brown hairy birthmarks covering her skin. Like many children growing up with a visible difference, Didi experiences isolation, uncertainty, fear, and a lack of confidence. But this does not need to be! As the pages turn, we discover Didi is not alone, Didi belongs, and Didi can love the skin she is in.
Who is the book for?
Through rhyming storytelling and captivating illustrations, this book provides a rare and vital space where children with visible differences feel seen, valued and celebrated. This wonderfully inspiring book provides a powerful tool for families, educators, and caregivers to open up meaningful conversations about empathy and kindness, helping children understand that everyone’s skin tells a story, and all stories deserve to be embraced and celebrated.
As each page is read, children will value their own uniqueness and be empowered to become confident and compassionate individuals. When we surround children with stories that celebrate all forms of beauty, we begin to build a more inclusive and loving world
The Author:
’m an author, illustrator, and mum of three, passionate about creating stories that celebrate kindness, inclusion, and belonging. My debut children’s picture book “Didi, the Wolf & the Starry Tattoos” follows a child with a visible difference as they start school, navigating curiosity, stares, and ultimately finding their tribe.
This story is deeply personal to me. Inspired by my own experiences as a mum and volunteer with Caring Matters Now, I wanted to give children with visible differences a character who reflects their journey, while helping others learn empathy and acceptance.
Alongside my creative work, I’m also a qualified pharmacist and proud advocate for the visible difference community. My mission is to empower children and families with stories that open hearts and spark meaningful conversations.

4 Book Bonanza
Title 1: My Family is So Scottish
Title 2: Daddy's Scared of Beasties
Title 3: My Brother is a Vampire
Title 4: My Brother is a Werewolf
Genre: Children
Format: Paperbacks
Signed: Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Title 1: My Family is So Scottish
From a kilt-wearing uncle to a rugby-loving gran... come along with me and meet my very Scottish clan!
My Family is So Scottish is a beautiful picture book showing an inclusive representation of Scottish people, places and culture. Through its witty rhymes
and energetic illustrations, this book perfectly highlights the joy, love and togetherness of Scottish people.
With over 40 references of Scottish heritage, traditions and food, and featuring a gay wedding, energetic grandparents and a dad who loves poetry, this book really does represent a much needed modern version of the Scottish clan.
Written and illustrated by two Scottish creators, Kirstin and Karen bring a truly authentic voice to this wonderful children’s story.
Title 2: Daddy's Scared of Beasties
Daddy’s Scared of Beasties is an entertaining story about a dad’s fear of minibeasts (beasties) and has an overarching theme that it's OK for grown-ups to be scared of things too.
Full of hilarious and colourful illustrations from Karen MacAllister, our big and burly ginger-bearded dad encounters different minibeasts, trying to hide his fear from his children, who don’t mind them at all.
Daddy’s Scared of Beasties is a story that breaks cultural stereotypes while celebrating diversity across families and in nature, featuring an LGBTQI+ mixed-race family and plenty of (not very scary) minibeasts.
Title 3: My Brother is a Vampire
A brother who doesn't like the sun, only eats red food and sleeps the wrong way round?!
"But I'm the only one that knows it,
The only one that sees
That my brother is a VAMPIRE
Help me please!"
My Brother is a Vampire a fun rhyming story about a boy who is convinced his brother is a vampire, because he acts so much like one!
Inspired by the author's two sons, this 36-page picture book is filled with colourful illustrations, catchy rhyming verse and makes a perfect bedtime story.
Title 4: My Brother is a Werewolf
Brothers can be difficult, especially if yours is a WEREWOLF!
His super strength helps him win every game... he can hear the smallest sounds... and he howls - a lot!
But these brothers know that despite their differences, they'll be there for each other.
Children will love this fun and rhyming story of brotherly connection.
The Author:
I've always loved writing stories and rhymes - often about friends and family members. Inspired by the enthusiasm of my eldest son, I started my publishing journey in 2021 with My Brother is a Vampire - a story that began as a joke reflecting on how similar toddlers are to vampires!
When I’m not writing
You can find me exploring in South London, going to museums, playing my ukulele or building something out of Lego.

Book Title: Wooglefog
Book Genre: Children's fiction
Format: Picture Book
Dedication available: Yes
Postage: UK only
The Book:
Another idea which stemmed from the lockdown pandemic of 2020, was a story about an old house in disrepair. A house situated fairly local to me, caught my eye one day on a cold walk during Winter.
A little basic research revealed the owner of the property to still be living in the attached middle terraced house - a house you almost miss because it is covered by a huge tree in the front garden.
I set out to create my own story based on these initial pieces of inspiration, in a bid to answer all the questions swirling around my head. Soon a fictionalised story involving an old lady living in a house full of years of memories started to take shape.
A narrow end terraced house which was clearly inhabitable, had smashed windows revealing old lampshades and faded curtains, a broken front door and a wildly overgrown garden next to it. Curiously a small red post box stood alone (still in use), inside the little front yard of the property.
The Author:
Hello! My name is Kerry and I was born and bred in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. I have always lived in this large, ex-mining town. It sits in equal distance between Derby and Nottingham in the East Midlands and I like living here very much.
Children's Picture Book Illustration is my absolute passion in life. From the moment I could hold a crayon, I wanted to communicate through pictures. I still want to do this and I am pretty certain I will never stop wanting to do this. I am very inspired by the world around me. Themes within my work center around family, friendship, imagination, connection, joy and creativity...all sprinkled with a bit of magic.

Book: Troll Trotters
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Dedication available: Yes
Postage: UK only
The Book:
Forget what you know about Trolls – they are much, much worse!
Meet Grampy Grotface and his filthy, foul-smelling family of trolls. As grotty and rotten as they come, they wouldn't have it any other way! When they're kicked out of their crumbling, stinky home, the trolls stumble upon a rotting pirate ship that’s just as mucky as they are. Now they travel the world, lurking under bridges, scaring passers-by, and collecting their favourite snack - old smelly socks!
With a fantastic rhyming story from Paulette Dowle, the slime practically drips off the pages of the book through the wonderful illustrative talents of Tim Brunt.
Cross your fingers and hold your nose - the trolls are on the loose!
The Author:
Based in Devon, I am an author with a passion for reimagining classic storytelling perspectives. I wrote The Troll Trotters to give a voice to the creatures who live beneath the bridge, rather than those who reside in castles. My aim is to offer children a story that celebrates individuality and challenges traditional ideas of what is considered “normal.” Through my work, I hope to inspire readers to see beauty and value in difference.

Book: The Magic Gourd
Genre: Children - Fairytale
Format: Paperback Illustrated Story
Signed: Dedication is Available
Postage: UK only
The Book:
A spellbinding Celtic fairy tale woven through the wild landscapes of Devon, where legends breathe in the mist and the moor hides more than it reveals.
Doireann is of the Dumnonii tribe, who has to summon her wit, and determination to save her mother who is fading fast — and only the fabled magic gourd hidden deep in the Pixie’s land can save her.
To find it, Doireann must cross the shadowed forest where faery folk delight in cruel tricks, brave Dartmoor’s deadly mists, and face the cunning Pixie folk who love nothing more than leading travelers astray.
The Pixies won’t give up their treasure easily. Can Doireann outsmart them and make it home in time? If she fails, she will lose not only the gourd, but her mother forever?
A thrilling fairy tale of courage, cleverness, and the power of love.
The Author:
I am lucky to live in beautiful North Devon with my husband and scruffy little terrier Minnie. I write my books looking out at the ever changing landscape and can see the hills of Dartmoor peeping through the trees.
Joseph whose beautiful illustrations make this book so special has a special love of the countryside and wildlife. His own book is endorsed by David Attenborough.

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.
