Oliver Wormwood is soon surprised to find this library is full of magic, unpredictable books, and lots of danger!
This is a fab graphic novel for any fan, sharing tales of determination, team play and inspiring the next generation of sportswomen.
This book is both a manual for how to spot corruption, a recipe for its undoing and a shining example of why journalism is so important.
The tender moments almost had me wishing someone would break into my house just to take care of me (just kidding, mostly).
Many books in the “emotions for kids” genre pitch their subject too cutesy, preachy or simplistic. Oziewicz and Zajac get it just right.
With a sweet sapphic love story thrown in, this is a perfect wee fantasy for fans of the genre looking for a short yet satisfying read.
This was a super-silly, camp, pop-culture-referencing romp! First Cat, Moon Queen and Loz 4000 return for another out-of-this-world adventure
An uplifting, wholesome series about the joy of travelling,the fear of new things and navigating different environments as queer adults.
I love a character-driven novel, and Wilkins is so adept at creating a cast that feels complex, relatable and easy to love.
This is a novel about familial tensions, the desperation caused by poverty and how to be yourself when so much is expected of you.

Continuing his trend of writing brilliant sci-fi, Baxter weaves science and wonder into a story of loss and powerlessness.

It’s a book that feels like a warm hug—perfect for anyone craving a story full of sweetness, magic, and the comfort of found communities.
Readers, prepare for the intrusion of the narrator. Knowing exactly why the action is happening is overrated.
A truly trippy space Odyssey set in the far future- and then the really far future- Tchaikovsky’s Sci-Fi prowess is on full display.
You’ll find characters you’ll either deeply love or deeply hate (I had the experience of wanting to slap everyone but also hug them tenderly)
