What’s the Matter, Aunty May?

Peter Friend
Illustrations by Andrew Joyner
In this ultimate portrait of childhood optimism and cheer, the narrator
proceeds from chore to chore leaving a trail of destruction behind him,
oblivious to his aunt’s horror
Good intentions go awry as a polish here and a scrub-a-dub there culmi-
nates in a parakeet passing through a vacuum cleaner, a couple of floods,
ice cream cake where there shouldn’t be ice cream cake, and the promise of
a return visit. A lovable character in the cheeky style of Dennis the Men-
ace offers the sort of help that quickly becomes a hindrance, in this rollicking,
energetic tale illustrated in a charming retro style.
Peter Friend is an author and a poet. Andrew Joyner is the illustrator of The
Terrible Plop.

Pink
Janet A. Holmes
Illustrations by Jonathan Bentley
A pink-obsessed girl finds the absolute perfect
best friend with whom to dance around in pink
boas and eat strawberry ice cream
“High on the cuteness scale, this will be a

welcome addition to preschool collections.”
—School Library Journal on Have You
Seen Duck?
Lily loves all things pink—her boots, her bicy-
cle, the food she eats—but she has no one to share
them with. She tries to play with an assortment
of animals but the snail is too slow, the chicken
is too silly, and the goat eats her clothes. Then
along comes a perfect friend, who is perfectly
pink. The whimsical illustrations perfectly match
the deceptively simple text, and children will love
spotting Lily’s special friend on every spread. The
result is a delightful exploration of misunder-
standing, friendship, and obsession, without
ever mentioning the word “pink.”
Janet A. Holmes is the author of Me and You.

loshes and The Best Kind of Kiss. They previously

The Queen with the Wobbly Bottom
Phillip Gwynne
Illustrations by Bruce Whatley
It’s not so easy to keep a stiff upper lip when one has a wobbly bottom. A sweetly
hilarious tale about learning to love oneself.
There was once a queen, a beautiful and clever queen, who was loved throughout
her land. But when she looked in the mirror, when she wriggled her hips, the queen
was not happy, not happy at all, because her bottom wobbled just like raspberry
jelly. When she offers a reward for a solution to the royal wobble, hopeful candi-
dates turn up in droves with cures of every kind. But none of them work, and the
queen eventually discovers that real beauty comes from within. This sweet fable
with an important message features a fantastic cast of characters. From a kanga-
roo personal trainer to a lumbering bear of a poet, there is a cavalry of animals on
hand that attempt to de-wobbalize that bottom.
Phillip Gwynne is the author of several picture books and young adult novels, in-
cluding Born to Bake in the Aussie Bites series and Ruby Learns to Swim. Bruce
Whatley is the illustrator of such picture books as Diary of a Wombat, The Teddy
Bears’ Picnic, and Wait! No Paint!

thumping talent for talking directly to kids.” —Sydney Morning Herald

Are You Sad, Little Bear?
A Book About Learning to Say Goodbye
Rachel Rivett
Illustrations by Tina Macnaughton
Little Bear’s friends help him understand what it means to say goodbye
“Gently philosophical and full of autumn color . . . lyrical in both text and
illustration.” —Books for Keeps
“Utterly disarming, and handsomely produced.”
—Kevin Crossley-Holland, author, The Seeing Stone
Grandmother Bear has gone for ever, and Little Bear is feeling sad. His mother
wisely suggests that perhaps asking his woodland companions what saying good-
bye means to them will help him understand his loss. Little Bear’s day of exploring
and asking questions brings him comfort and hope. For the swallows, saying good-
bye means flying to warmer lands; for the leaves of the trees it is a chance to be
free, leaving the tree at her most beautiful; for the moon it is to return to be with
the sun; and for the sun it is to rise in another sky; and just because Little Bear
can’t see him doesn’t mean he isn’t there. This charmingly illustrated book will
help young children in times of bereavement, loss, or change, gently exploring the reasons for saying goodbye and giving reas-
surance that goodbye doesn’t mean the end of things.

Monsters Don’t Cry!
Brett McKee
Illustrations by Ella Burfoot
An adorably written, gorgeously illustrated story of a brave little
monster who learns that sometimes it’s okay to cry
“McKee’s verse is accessible, and his repeated refrain properly

catchy. Burfoot’s pictures, in watercolor and colored pencils,
are eye-poppingly bright and full of funny touches.”
—Kirkus Reviews
Written in delightful rhyming verse, this charming children’s story
introduces Archie, a brave young monster who is determined to face
all the obstacles life has to offer without shedding a single tear. From
scary nightmares to falling out of a swing, upset tummies due to too
much birthday cake, and even getting stung by a mean old bumble
bee, Archie remains steadfast to prove that he is a real monster—
and monsters are strong, they don’t cry. However, Archie eventu-
ally learns that sometimes even little monsters don’t always have to
be brave, especially when mommy and daddy monster are at hand
to make everything all right!
Brett McKee is the author of George’s Invisible Watch and The Tickle Ghost. Ella Burfoot is the author and illustrator of Bear
and Me, Darkness Slipped In, and Louie and the Monsters.

Hot Air
Sandrine Dumas Roy
Illustrations by Emmanuelle Houssais
Translated by Sarah Ardizzone
A humorous, quirky look at global warming
from the angle of environmental politics, with ex-
quisite pastiche illustrations and accompanying
teaching and discussion resources on climate
change and global warming
The earth is warming up. The polar bear has turned
green, the dingo’s gone doolally, and the wolf is float-
ing on an island mid-ocean. The animals know some-
thing is very wrong, but what exactly? After much
bleating, the dolphins are dispatched as envoys to find
and investigate the root cause of the problem. Fart-
ing cows, of course. They are responsible for the en-
vironmental meltdown. But with a lot of gas being
spouted in all directions, can the animals find and
agree on a solution to the cow problem in time to
save the earth? By drawing on a long-established tra-
dition of animal satire, this book holds the looking
glass up to human society and asks readers to be bold,
imaginative, and thoroughly out-of-the-box in the
quest for answers to the big questions.
Sandrine Dumas Roy is a journalist reporting on en-
vironmental issues and sustainable development. Em-
manuelle Houssais illustrates books for children and
adults. Sarah Ardizzone has twice won the Marsh
Award for Children’s Literature in Translation. Her

The Little Eskimo
Davide Cali
Illustrations by Maurizio A. C. Quarello
A richly illustrated tale of one little boy’s search for
his own identity and place in the world
“This timeless, global parable . . . illustrates the

interconnectedness of all things. . . . An intriguing
offering that will open up discussion.”
—Booklist
The Little Eskimo wants to know what’s on the other
side of the great frozen lake, and he wants to know if
he’ll be a great hunter when he grows up. He starts out
on a quest to find the answers but none of the arctic
animals can help him. Finally, a whale takes the brave
little boy to the one creature who knows all and the
Little Eskimo discovers his two questions are very much
connected. This is a classic tale of human desire to seek
out that which we cannot know: what the future holds.

The Enemy
Older Reader’s Edition
Davide Cali
Illustrations by Serge Bloch
Featuring a profound antiwar message, this moving and po-
etic meditation on the big questions in the tradition of The
Little Prince is now available in the author’s original edition
for older readers
“Think of it as a kind of All Quiet on the Western Front for

the elementary school set, though with chic, inventive illus-
tration by Serge Bloch.” —Wall Street Journal on the
younger edition
“Poignant, thought-provoking, and powerful in its frank-
ness and simplicity, this short piece will prompt discussion
on war and other means of resolving conflict.”
—School Library Journal on the younger edition
There’s a war on. We see something that looks like a desert.
There are two holes. In the two holes are two soldiers.
THEY ARE ENEMIES.
So begins this extraordinary, contemporary picture book.
Inspired by historical events, it speaks to adults, yet is also
accessible to a child of primary school age. Set in a war not
unlike World War I, the tale is narrated by one of the soldiers
who tells of his loneliness, deprivations, fears, irritations, and,
finally, his resolve to end his part in the war. In exploring his own
emotions about a conflict seemingly without end or reason, he
comes to suspect his enemy is not the inhuman barbarian he has
been warned about, but may just be a frightened, tired victim of
propaganda like himself. The unforgettable artwork, which
combines photographic collage, simple line drawings, and a mas-
terful use of white space, will make this book a collectable for all those who admire illustrated books of the highest quality.
Published in association with Amnesty International, this book is an ideal conversation starter about how conflict and violence
can give way to peace, compassion, and understanding.
Davide Cali is one of Europe’s most innovative and acclaimed writers for children. He is the author of more than 20 illustrated
books, including 10 Little Insects, The Bear with the Sword, The Enemy: A Book About Peace, Mama Robot, and Santa’s Suit.

Just So Stories
Rudyard Kipling
Illustrations by Robert Ingpen
An unforgettable cast of extraordinary animal char-
acters is brought to life in stunning new illustrations
by award-winning illustrator Robert Ingpen
Once upon a time, O my Best Beloved . . .
So begins this classic collection of gloriously fanciful tales
of how things in the world came to be as they are. This
collection includes the story of how the lazy camel found
himself with a hump and how the insatiable curiosity
of the elephant earned him his long trunk. It reveals how
the whale was given a throat, and why every rhinoceros
has great folds in his skin and a very bad temper. We
also find out about the cunning cat that walked by it-
self, and how clever little Taffy and her Daddy Tegumai
made the first alphabet. Rudyard Kipling first entertained
his own children with these delightful, warm, and hu-
morous stories, which he later wrote down for publi-
cation in 1902. Conjuring up distant lands and exotic
jungles, they are bewitching for both children and adults.
This sumptuous volume offers the complete and
unabridged text, including the often-missing 13th story,
“The Tabu Tal,” which Kipling added for the American
edition in 1903.
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) is the Nobel Prize–win-
ning author of such classics as Kim, The Jungle
Book, and the Just So Stories. Robert Ingpen has designed,
illustrated, and written more than 100 published works
of fiction and nonfiction, among them The Jungle Book
and the centenary edition of Peter Pan and Wendy. In
1986 he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen
Medal for his contribution to children’s literature.

Rudyard Kipling
Kipling’s classic collection of origin stories
“They sing in my head even now. . . . What a wonderful storyteller-poet Kipling was.”
—Michael Morpurgo, author, War Horse
Have you ever inquired why the elephant has such an enormously elongated nose? Are you con-
fused by a cat’s contrariness? Have you ruminated on the wrinkles of a rhinoceros, or specu-
lated how the leopard got its spots? Rudyard Kipling wondered about all these things too, and
in this marvelous collection of stories he imagines how the animals became “just so.”
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) is best known for The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, and Kim. He
was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.

Anne of Green Gables

L. M. Montgomery
“The dearest and most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice.” —Mark Twain
“By turning adversity to advantage with lots of spunk, Anne of Green Gables has en-
chanted four generations of children and their elders since the world’s most widely read
Canadian novel was first published in Boston in 1908.” —New York Times
My dislikes: Being an orphan, having red hair, people twitting about my red hair, being called
“carrots” by Gilbert Blythe. My likes: Living at the Green Gables with Marilla and Matthew
Cuthbert, my bosom-friend Diana, dresses with puff sleeves, renaming Barry’s pond the Lake
of Shining Waters, coming top of the class. My regrets: Dyeing my hair green. Smashing a slate
over Gilbert Blythe’s head. My dream: To tame my temper. To be good (this is an uphill strug-
gle). To grow up to have auburn hair!
L. M. Montgomery (1874–1942) was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels be-
ginning with Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908.

You might think I’d have grown out of getting myself into scrapes now that I’m half past six-
teen. But between being vexed by my freckles, taunted by a brazen Jersey cow, and kept on my
toes by the new twins, Dora and Davy, life at Green Gables is just as eventful as ever. I do try
to be a little more grown-up now that I’m a school teacher. The other day I asked the class, “If
you had three candies in one hand and two in the other, how many would you have altogether?”
One of my pupils piped up, “A mouthful.” Could you have kept a straight face?!

The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm

Norman Hunter
The first entry in a completely wacky classic series includes the original illustrations, as well
as extra information on accidental inventions that changed our lives, and a few experiments
for readers to try
Poor Mrs. Flittersnoop! It’s not easy being Professor Branestawm’s housekeeper. People may
say he’s a genius, but all his inventions always make life more complicated, alarming, and ex-
traordinary than it was before. An innocent bottle of old cough mixture turns out to be an
elixir that makes all the waste paper in the bin come to life, the burglar-catcher and the pan-
cake-maker operate just a little too efficiently, and about the spring-cleaning machine, the less
said the better. You could write a book about it, but nobody would believe it.
Norman Hunter (1899–1995) originally created Professor Branestawm for a children’s series
on BBC Radio. The character went on to appear in a series of 13 books written over the next 50
years, from 1933 to 1983. This is the first book in the series.

the frightened reaction of the local peasants fail to warn Jonathan Harker, a young man from

ening than superstition. What’s more, it’s going to be up to him to stop the world’s most blood-
thirsty predator.

The Blue Fairy Book

The first in a series of 12 fairy tale anthologies beloved of children in the last century, each
a veritable treasure trove of stories for children and adults alike, spellbinding and special
Once upon a time there lived a king who was deeply in love with a princess, but she could
not marry anyone, because she was under an enchantment. So the King set out to seek a fairy,
and asked what he could do to win the princess’s love . . .
This very special anthology includes wonderful renditions of the old favorites such as Cin-
derella and Hansel and Gretel, as well as some intriguing fairy tales that modern audiences
have yet to discover such as “Why the Sea Is Salt,” “Prince Hyacinth,” and “The Dear Little
Princess.” Andrew Lang collected stories from communities and traditions all over the world
for his fairy books: from the Arabian Nights, China, and the Brothers Grimm. Many of the
tales were translated into English for the first time for these anthologies, from languages as
far afield as Russian, Norse, and Japanese. The book is republished here with a stunning blue
jacket, accompanied throughout by the original illustrations.

The Red Fairy Book

Dancing princesses, golden eggs, and evil knights are found in this second volume of An-
drew Lang’s fairy tales gathered in the late 19th century
Once upon a time, in the middle of winter when the snow-flakes were falling like feathers on
the earth, a Queen sat at a window framed in black ebony and sewed. And as she sewed and
gazed out to the white landscape, she pricked her finger with the needle, and three drops of
blood fell on the snow outside . . .
Andrew Lang began gathering fairy tales with the aim of conserving “the old stories that have
pleased so many generations.” This bold and eclectic anthology contains wonderful renditions
of old favorites such as “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Rapunzel,” as well as some little-known
stories such as “The Death of Koschei the Deathless” and “The Nettle Spinner.” Be transported
to a land full of marvels and magic: a world of enchanted forests and isolated castles; of gi-
ants, fairies, and trolls; of treasure, music, and promise. Andrew Lang’s fairy books helped to
lay the foundation for our continuing fascination with fairy tales as entertainment and cul-
tural objects. The book is republished here with a stunning red jacket, accompanied through-
out by the original illustrations.

The Coral Island
R. M. Ballantyne
Adventure and peril abound in a classic tale of shipwreck and survival
“Prolific and excellent writer of tales.” —Times

Ralph, Jack, and Peterkin find themselves the sole survivors of a shipwreck on a deserted coral
island in the South Pacific. Although fate has led them to temporary safety, the three marooned
boys are forced to carve out a life for themselves from what nature provides. They rapidly learn
which fruit to eat, which animals to hunt, and which lagoons are best for bathing. Resourceful
as they are, their desert island idyll is often disturbed and they face numerous terrifying threats—
pirates, sharks, cannibalism, and local tribes. Amid all the chaos, the trio still face the riddle of
how to engineer their rescue from their tropical exile. Following in Robinson Crusoe’s footsteps,
and yet with added adventure, Ballantyne’s writing is a classic adored by previous generations
of children and deserves to be discovered all over again by a modern audience.
R. M. Ballantyne (1825–1894) was a Scottish young adult fiction writer. He wrote more than 80
books including The Pirate City.

how to scare the goblins away. He leads the pair to safety, back to the castle. While working
late one night in the mines Curdie overhears the goblins’ diabolical plan. The terrible goblin
queen plans to kidnap the princess and force her to marry her son, so humans will be forced
to accept goblins as their rulers. Before the creation of Middle Earth or Narnia, George Mac-
Donald was inventing wonderful kingdoms and populating them with magical creatures and
enchanted beings, as in this unique, compelling fantasy.
George MacDonald (1824–1905) was a Scottish author known particularly for his poignant
fairy tales and fantasy novels. He inspired many authors, such as W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien,
C. S. Lewis, E. Nesbit, and Madeleine L’Engle.
The Story of the Treasure Seekers

E. Nesbit
A legendary children’s story of sibling adventure, by the enchanting author of Five Children and
It and The Railway Children, which has delighted countless generations of young readers
The Bastable children (Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and Horace Octavius—H.O.) live in
London with their widowed father. Too poor to attend school, the children are left to their own
devices, and they spend their days coming up with ingenious plans to restore their father’s for-
tune. Told from the first person perspective—which lends the narrative substantial bias—this
was Nesbit’s first work. Refreshingly free of Victorian sentimentality, yet still wonderfully evoca-
tive of a bygone era, the tale makes for timeless reading and ensures Nesbit’s esteemed place in
the canon of children’s literature.
E. Nesbit (1858–1924) was a prolific children’s author, writing more than 60 books including
Five Children and It and The Railway Children.

ical, sleepy, long, or short, there’s something in here for every oc-

tery Cat,” these are poems to pass down the generations. Themed

Carroll), Tell Me a Tale (“The Raven” by Poe), Lessons for Life
(“Caged Bird” by Angelou), and more. Besides a traditional index,
there is a list in back of poems to turn to if you need courage, if
you seek guidance, if you are facing grief, or if you need a pocket
full of peace, instilling in young readers the habit of turning to
poetry for help, solace, and pleasure. There is also a helpful glos-
sary of poetic terms. A favorite poem will stay with you for life,
and this beautifully illustrated collection for young and old is sure

—Family Magazine
At the kennels, Caesar doesn’t look special. But Corporal Ben Fulton sees something differ-

rated from his master. In the aftermath, Ben and his best friend Charlie are seriously wounded
and evacuated to the hospital before being shipped back to Australia. But where is Caesar?
From their home in Australia, Ben and his family search for clues that might reveal whether
their beloved dog is still alive and surviving Afghanistan’s bitter winter cold and capture by
the Taliban. It will be a long road home, and Caesar will face many hardships along the way,
but for this brave and loyal dog, anything is possible. This book is based on the true story of
Australian military dog Sarbi and its experiences in Afghanistan, combined with the factual
experiences of Endal, the devoted British dog who cared for his wheelchair-bound ex-serviceman
master and became the most decorated dog in history.

Grisly Tales from Tumblewater

A stylishly sick new voice in children’s Gothic horror features richly descriptive, blackly
funny, gasp-out-loud story-within-a-storytelling, perfect for fans of The Graveyard Book
“The characters are solid, the ideas quirky, and the writing sets up a great mood, bring-
ing the grim and forbidding places of the city right off the page. . . . A fun, fast, and en-
joyable contribution to Gothic kid-lit.” —Bookbag
Warning: Not for the faint ofheart. Welcome to the shadowy district of Tumblewater, eter-
nally rain drenched, and home to a creepy collection of depraved characters, as newcomer
Daniel Dorey is quick to discover. He is soon drawn into the town’s hungry fascination with
sinister storytelling: there’s the one about the young boy who is punished most appallingly
for picking his nose, another about two devilish bakers and their murderous pies, and then
there are the rumors about the villainous Caspian Prye. Before he can help it, Daniel is thrown
into the middle of a scary story himself—and he knows it’s likely to have a sticky ending.

School for Villains

Below Tumblewater is a school unlike any other with a daily schedule of dagger-throw-

I looked again at at the door and saw a message scrawled roughly in the mud of the wall
above it, as though someone had used their whole hand to gouge it out: RIDLEY GARNET’S
SCHOLE FUR VILLAINS.
Everyone’s favorite orphan-turned-storyteller Daniel Dorey is back and on the run from sin-
ister millionaire Caspian Prye, who kidnapped his sister. He must venture below the rain-
drenched streets, where he unwittingly enrolls in a very strange school, encountering a host
of weird and wonderful characters. Here kids learn the tricks they need to survive—from
safecracking to double dagger-throwing, and from disguises to practicing surgery on chunks
of corpse. This is one school where naughtiness never goes unrewarded. Will Daniel and his
schoolmates be able to put their grisly lessons into practice and rescue his sister?

To Brave the Seas
David McRobbie
The story of a teenager who ends up as a deck boy on navy ships, learning
the ropes, fitting in with the crew, and facing action in World War II
“Chapters open with muted-tone posters, advertisements, and news sto-

ries of the time, nicely enhancing this lively historical tale.”
—Booklist on Vinnie’s War
We had trained for emergencies. Every man knew how to launch a lifeboat.
There were life jackets to save us, but no one said, Oh, and this is what an ex-
ploding torpedo does, and here’s what happens when the ship sinks under you.
And the lights will be out, so you’ll be in the dark.
It is 1940, and war rages. With nothing to keep him at home, 15-year-old Adam
Chisholm joins Britain’s Merchant Navy. His first ship takes him on a stormy
Atlantic convoy where he faces seasickness, submarines, and shipwreck. In his
remarkable sea journeys, Adam meets enemies face to face, and makes
friends—some for a lifetime. A seven-page glossary that features nautical terms
and WWII memorabilia throughout is also included.
David McRobbie is the author of more than 30 books for children and young
adults, including Vinnie’s War and A Whole Lot of Wayne. In To Brave the
Sea he draws again on his Merchant Navy experiences to add color and real-
ism to the story.

Archie walked by and I said to him, “So this is our secret destination?”
“No secret now, young Adam.” He’d been in New York before, so he was like a guide, and me a tourist. “You’ll soon
see the Statue of Liberty. On the port side—tall lady, holding a torch in her hand.”
I looked out to the left, but there was not a lot to see through the haze. Then I saw her, Liberty, and smiled. I’d seen
the statue in American travelogue films at the cinema, and there was a photograph of her in the encyclopaedia at school.
I never imagined setting eyes on the real thing myself, but there she was, better than any picture.
It was a good way to see New York Harbor. Since my work in the mess room was finished, at least until smoko, I could
relax and admire the view. It was a pity about the poor visibility—but still, I was seeing it.
Archie, Diggy and the others were soon busy getting the ship ready to dock, clumping about in their big sea boots and
cold-weather clothing. As Archie climbed the ladder to the fo’c’s’le top, he called back down to me, “That place we’re
coming to is Ellis Island, Adam, where immigrants first land in America.”
“That's as far as some of them get before being sent back,” Diggy added. “For having a disease, or maybe they’re
bad characters.”
“Gee,” I said, “they come all that way and don’t make it?”
“Yeah, it would be horrible,” Diggy said. “Especially if the voyage over had been as rough as ours.” He followed Archie
up top to stand by to moor the ship.
I thought how terrible it would be to escape from a country where life had been hell—where there was war, violence
and cruelty, and to sail past the Statue of Liberty with her welcoming torch held high. You’d think the horror was over,
then file off the rotten, uncomfortable ship only be told you couldn’t stay, you had to go back.

Louis Beside Himself
Anna Fienberg
From the author of the classic Tashi series, a hilarious story about losing your words, find-
ing your courage, and arm-wrestling your way out of big trouble
Louis’s best friends, Singo and Hassan, are into basketball and skateboarding, and his dad is
into arm-wrestling. Dad wants to build Louis up with wrestling moves like the Walls of Jeri-
cho or the Five Star Frog Splash, but Louis is better at flexing words than flexing his mus-
cles. This summer Louis is put to the test, starting with the phenomenon of the broken mirror,
leading to the paralyzing burglar incident (Louis knows he should get him in a wrestling-
hold, but his heart is hammering and his legs feel like wobbly air), and finally the night when
he comes face to face with peril.
Anna Fienberg is the versatile, well-loved author of picture books, first readers, junior fic-
tion, and YA novels. Her books include Borrowed Light, The Hottest Boy Who Ever Lived,
and the highly successful Tashi series.

Raven’s Mountain
Wendy Orr
Raven’s sister and stepfather are trapped on the mountain top and their lives depend on
Raven, in a gripping wilderness adventure by the author of Nim’s Island
“A fantasy tale as welcome as a breath of fresh tropical air.” —Publishers Weekly on

Nim’s Island
“[An] equally winning sequel . . . casting Nim, Jack, and Alex into adventures that are
exciting but never more than briefly scary, the author expertly shepherds the impulsive
trio all the way to the Big Apple.” —Kirkus Reviews starred review of Nim at Sea
Raven is the first to reach the mountain top. Her sister Lily and stepdad Scott are still climb-
ing the trail below. She is alone on top of the world. So she dances—a crazy, jumping, spin-
ning dance, because if you can climb a mountain you can do anything. But then there is a
rumble and the earth shakes. Rocks are falling, and so is Raven, in a terrible tumble down
the side of the mountain. When she comes to, no one answers her calls. The rockfall is cov-
ering the trail where she last saw Lily and Scott. This is the dramatic story of a girl who
goes beyond her limits to save her family, and along the way, discovers a mysterious bond
with a family of bears and a raven.
Wendy Orr is the author of several award-winning books, including Nim’s Island, Nim at
Sea, Peeling the Onion, and Stolen! A Pony Called Pebbles.

Red
Libby Gleeson
A gripping mystery unfolds in the aftermath of a devastating cyclone that leaves a young
girl unable to remember her name or where she comes from
“This is a striking piece of literature.” —School Library Journal on Mahtab’s Story

Mud. In her mouth, her nose and her eyes. Mud in her hair and caked on her neck and her
arms. Mud filling her shoes and seeping through the thin cotton weave of her trousers. She
lay sprawled on her side, a garbled, barely distinct sound coming from her: jaymartinjay-
martin. Her world was mud and pain.
‘What’s your name?’ A boy was sitting on a kitchen table floating in a muddy pool. At his
feet was a child’s doll, the head lolling to one side.
Red can’t remember the cyclone. She can’t remember anything—her name, where she lived,
or who her family might be. Her identity has been ripped away. Then she makes a discov-
ery, and finds she has an important mission to accomplish. But in this chaotic, bewildering
world, can she do it on her own? Who can she trust?
Libby Gleeson is the author of many books for children and teenagers, including Clancy &
Millie and the Very Fine House, Half a World Away, I Am Thomas, and Mahtab’s Story.
She has been short-listed for the CBCA Awards 13 times, and won it three times.

The Second Forever
Colin Thompson
A return to the enchantment and wonder of the world Thompson first introduced in the
award-winning How to Live Forever
“Not since Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose have libraries been so celebrated.
Book-lovers and library-haunters will be enchanted. We who know the mysterious pow-
ers of the library will not be at all surprised by the goings on in Peter’s museum, behind
its hidden doors.” —Virginia Lowe, winner of the 2004 Aurealis Award for Children’s
Novels Short Fiction on How to Live Forever
“Peter is a young boy who reminds us all what a wonderful thing it is to be curious and
to find courage we don’t realize is within us. . . . Thompson’s writing is smooth and his
storytelling agile. He introduces us to a world rich with characters and landscapes both
grotesque and charming, and he fills this book with friendship and love.”
—Aurealis Awards Judges’ Report 2004 on How to Live Forever
When Peter and his friend Festival destroyed the book called How to Live Forever so it could
no longer work its spell, they didn’t know it would have disastrous consequences. Now, Peter’s
world is in the worst drought ever—and Festival’s world, inside the museum, is drowning. The
only solution is to re-create the book but can they reverse the water flow? And if they re-create the evil book, can they hide it
so it can never be read again?
Colin Thompson has had more than 60 books published. He has received several awards, including an Aurealis Award for the
novel How to Live Forever and the CBC Picture Book of the Year in 2006 for The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Mr. Riley.

Coping with Chloe
Rosalie Warren
A gripping novel for teens from a debut author who deftly handles difficult issues
“I loved this book. . . . Emotional and moving, but real as well. . . . The subject is
handled with such a light touch; it’s hard to do anything other than ride along with
the story till you get to its very satisfying end.” —Liz Kessler, author, The Tail
of Emily Windsnap
“A superb book. Once I got about 10 pages in, I couldn’t put it down. I hope it receives
the acclaim it deserves.” —Donna Jo Napoli, author, Bound
“I wrote Coping with Chloe because I am fascinated by the mystery of twins, the way the human
brain works and how we come to terms with losing someone very close to us. I was thinking
about these things when the character of Anna appeared and started talking. Anna’s experi-
ences are all very real to her. How you interpret her story is entirely up to you.”
—Rosalie Warren
Anna and Chloe are twins who share everything, from schoolwork and clothes to fending off
the school bully and dealing with their parents’ separation. Even Chloe’s terrible accident has-
n’t split them apart. After all, twins have a special bond, right? But Anna is beginning to re-
alize that being inseparable isn’t always easy, especially when no one else seems to understand that Chloe isn’t really gone. No
one, that is, apart from the dazzling Joe, who inconveniently seems to like both sisters. Told through the eyes and mind of 12-
year-old Anna, this is a powerful novel exploring the mystery of twins and the process of grieving.
Rosalie Warren is a former schoolteacher.

“Once again the snappy teen balances life’s dark secrets with her breezy tone and light
humor.” —Booklist on Zelah Green: One More Little Problem
I look up at the dark, unblinking eyes of the house and I get the weirdest feeling . . . It’s the
feeling of being pulled into something and being unable to stop it happening . . .
Tabitha is used to changing schools and moving to different houses. But when her family
moves into Weston Manor, something is different. It’s as if the house has been waiting for
her. There are lavender smells that come from nowhere, the old servants’ bells ring in the

best friend Gemma knows that. But this time, could she actually be telling the truth?

“One of the finest writers of teen fiction in recent years.” —Guardian
My dad was killed in the 9/11 attacks. But the stuff in this book isn’t about that. It’s about
the summer my mom went away. The summer that me and Jed and Priti tried to catch a sui-
cide bomber and prevent an honor killing. There’s stuff about how we built a tree house
and joined the bomb squad; how I found my dad and Jed lost his; and how we both lost
our moms then found them again. So it’s not really about 9/11 but, then again, none of those
things would have happened if it hadn’t been for that day. So I guess it’s all back to front,
sort of.

The first round of auditions was a bit crazy. All these wannabe popstars sitting around try-
ing to look wacky and soulful and tragic to catch the attention of the TV cameras. At least
we had an awesome back story. The story of me, Agnes, Jimmy, and baby Alfie too; the
tears, the tragedy, the broken homes and feuding families, the star-crossed lovers. And only
some of it was made up. If I say so myself, it was genius: a sure-fire golden ticket to stratos-
pheric stardom—or at least that was the plan.

artifact while exploring the lost town of Dunwich, now submerged a
mile from shore. Within hours his boat is robbed and the burglar is
found mutilated on the beach, in a way reminiscent of a Viking ritual
killing. Can the CRYPT agents decipher the clues and figure out what
might have been disturbed on the seabed before more lives are lost?

HENDERSON’S BOYS
Robert Muchamore
Robert Muchamore is the bestselling author of the CHERUB and Henderson’s Boys series.
Scorched Earth
The seventh and final installment in a gritty, gripping World War II spy
series spun off from the CHERUB books
“I got all misty eyed as I came towards the end of Scorched Earth, knowing
that I’d be writing about Henderson, Paul, Rosie & co for the last time. But
I also had massive fun writing the final epilogue, detailing what happens to
all the characters up until the end of 2012. And for hardcore fans, this book
also finally unveils the mystery of how the modern day CHERUB organiza-
tion began, and how Charles Henderson’s son ended up bearing the surname
McAfferty! Now, what am I going to write next . . . ” —Robert Muchamore
It’s June 1944 and the allies have landed in Northern France. Henderson and
his team embark on a mission to, sabotage German supply lines. But the re-
treating Nazis are at their most brutal and desperate, which will make Hen-
derson’s Boys final mission their most dangerous.

Cinderella takes fate into her own hands in this brand-new tale by Sophie Masson
“In Sophie Masson’s elegant hands, a classic fairy tale is transformed into an engaging
thriller full of drama and clever plot twists.” —Isobelle Carmody, author, Obernewtyn
Welcome to the story of Cinderella as you’ve never heard it before. There is a girl whose for-
tunes have plummeted from wealthy aristocrat to that of a servant girl. A magic hazel twig,
a dashing prince, and a desperate escape from danger combine to tell the story of a girl who
refuses to allow her fairy godmother to arrange her future for her. Instead, this is the story
of Selena who will take charge of her own destiny and learn that her magic is not to be feared
but celebrated. Pure fairy tale—with all the romance, magic, and adventure that goes along
with it.

Scarlet in the Snow

Masson delves into the depths of two ancient Russian fairy tales and brings to life the be-
guiling adventure of Natasha, the rose-stealer, and the Beast, its protector
When Natasha is forced to take shelter from a sudden, terrible blizzard, she is lucky to see a
mansion looming out of the snow. Inside, it is beautiful: the fire lit, the table set, but myste-
riously enough there is no one there. On the walls, instead of paintings, sit empty frames. In
the garden, she finds one perfect red rose about to bloom, a vivid splash of scarlet against
the snow. Dreamily she reaches out a hand, only to have the master of the house appear—a
terrifying, gigantic creature who looks like a cross between a bear and a man—and demand
vengeance on her for taking his rose. So begins an extraordinary adventure that will see Natasha
plunged deep into the heart of a mystery. She begins to realize she has stumbled onto a great
tragedy—a spell of revenge laid on the young man the Beast once was, devised by a power-
ful sorcerer. But even if she can break the spell, the Beast she has now come to love will be
snatched from her. Natasha will have a long journey, and many ordeals, ahead of her before
there can be a happy ending.

When her sister becomes betrothed to a prince in a northern nation, Zeraphina’s only con-
solations are that her loyal animal companions are by her side—and that her burning hunger
to travel north is finally being sated. Already her black hair and pale eyes mark her as being dif-
ferent, but now Zeraphina must be even more careful to keep her secret safe. Craving blood
is not considered normal behavior for anyone, let alone a princess. So when the king’s advi-
sor, Rodden, seems to know more about her condition than she does, Zeraphina is determined
to find out more. Zeraphina must be willing to sacrifice everything if she’s to uncover the
truth—but what if the truth is beyond her worst nightmares?

The Extinction Gambit

Pryor’s newest hero Kingsley Ward must not only stop immortal magicians from altering
history and Neanderthals set out to destroy the world, but also simultaneously rescue his
father from an almost certain doom
Kingsley Ward is in dire trouble. Instead of thrilling the audience with his death-defying
escapology, his first performance ends in disaster when his hidden wolfish nature bursts free.
That same night, his father is abducted and his home ransacked. To find his father and
redeem himself, Kingsley braves the Demimonde, a mysterious parallel world. He is soon
the target of two warring factions: immortal magicians whose diabolical plans will create
mayhem at the 1908 Olympics, and the last Neanderthals, whose vengeance will wipe out
humankind. Kingsley is in dire need of help and the famous author Rudyard Kipling is will-
ing to assist, but why is he so interested in Kingsley? Another person on his side is Evadne
Stephens, juggler, weaponsmith, and Demimonde expert—but what does her mercurial
nature conceal? Bizarre plots and sinister magic—the extraordinary is about to happen.

his birth and save the world once more
Kingsley Ward and Evadne Stephens are the Extraordinaires and they should be the toast of
the town—but their juggling and escapology act is failing and Kingsley is to blame. His wolfish
side is breaking free, ruining performances, and endangering those around him. The secret
to controlling this wildness lies in his mysterious past. Was he really raised by wolves? Who
were his parents and what happened to them? The discovery of Kingsley’s father’s journal
promises answers, but when it is stolen the Extraordinaires uncover ancient magic, a malign
conspiracy, and a macabre plot to enslave all humanity. What begins as a quest to restore
Kingsley’s past becomes an adventure that pits the Extraordinaires against forces that could
shatter the minds and souls of millions.

nis was thought dead, but he is a hard man to kill. As Berren chases him

and he is willing to go to any lengths—including dealing with the black-

understand his feelings towards Syannis and his mad quest, he slowly comes
to realize that the world is going to war—and Berren is caught in the
middle. Can he navigate a path through the dangers which surround him?
Will he find a way to extricate himself from the sorcery and intrigue that
follow him at every step? And who is destined to be the king’s assassin?

The Whole of My World
Nicole Hayes
A must-read for anyone who’s ever loved or lost, drawn a line between then and now, or
kept a secret that wouldn’t stay hidden
Today I am free. No guilt for who’s missing, what’s been left behind. My face aches from
smiling in the wind and my voice rasps from all the screaming, and I know that it’s been
forever since I’ve felt so completely alive.
Desperate to escape her grieving father and harboring her own terrible secret, Shelley dis-
appears into the intoxicating world of Australian Football League (AFL). Joining a motley
crew of football players—and, best of all, making friends with one of the star players—
Shelley finds somewhere she feels she belongs. Finally she’s winning. So why don’t her friends
get it? There’s Josh, who she’s known all her life but who she can now barely look at any-
more because of the memories of that fateful day, and Tara, whose cold silences Shelley can’t
understand. And now everyone thinks there’s something more going on between Shelley and
Mick. But there isn’t—is there? When the whole of your world is football, sometimes life
gets lost between goals.
Nicole Hayes is the author of Full Forward.

The Ink Bridge

Neil Grant
A remarkable and gripping story about one refugee boy on a desperate journey from
Afghanistan, and the Australian boy who befriends him.
Each step becomes a heartbeat and I feel the distance between Omed and me closing. I re-
member when I first met him—when he had showed me what bravery meant. How he had
stood up for what he believed. In the end that had been his undoing.
This compelling story of two young men introduces Omed, an Afghani refugee who, after
his father is murdered by the Taliban, undertakes a perilous journey through Pakistan, Malaysia,
and Indonesia to seek asylum in Australia; and Hector, an Australian boy consumed by grief,
who has given up on school and retreated into silence. Their paths meet at a candle factory
where they both find work, and secrets fester behind the monotonous routine: secrets with
terrible consequences. These two silent boys—one born in a land of great beauty and great
violence, the other unable to escape the past—are tied together by words, and silenced by
tragedy. The hardest bridge that Hector will ever build is the one that leads to Omed. Their
story will grab hold of readers’ hearts and not let go.
Neil Grant is the author of four previous books, including Indo Dreaming, which was short-
listed for the Queensland Premier’s Literary Award and the Melbourne Prize for Best Writ-
ing, and Rhino Chasers.

Simon and the Easter Miracle

A Traditional Tale for Easter
Mary Joslin
Illustrations by Anna Luraschi
Together with sophisticated artwork, a picture book retelling of a traditional Eu-
ropean tale, with the events and meaning of the first Easter at its heart
“Uses Christian imagery and simple, elegant prose to flesh out the Gospel’s one-
line story of Simon of Cyrene.” —School Library Journal
“This quiet, gentle story fills a need for Easter-themed stories that go beyond
bunnies and Easter baskets.” —Kirkus Reviews
Both thought-provoking and engaging, this is the story of Simon of Cyrene —“a man
coming in from the country,” as the Gospels refer to him—who was ordered to carry
Jesus’ cross. Over the centuries, his story has been woven into Polish folklore; when
Simon the farmer brings his wares to market, little does he expect how he will be in-
volved in the events of that very special day, nor how his produce—of bread, eggs,
and wine—will become important symbols of Jesus’ passion and resurrection, re-
membered throughout the ages.
Mary Joslin is the author of The Lion Book of Best-Loved Prayers, The Lion Book of Day-by-Day Prayers, The Lion Day-by-Day
Bible, On That Christmas Night, and The Story of the Cross. Anna Luraschi is the illustrator of numerous books, including Bed-
time Rhymes, Twelve Dancing Princesses, and The Usborne Book of Christmas Poems.

The Thriving Family
Six Core Values to Make Your Family Strong
David Coleman
How the use of six core principles can ensure happy, healthy children who grow up to be
happy, healthy adults
Drawing from his vast experience working with families, along with his own experiences as
a parent, clinical psychologist David Coleman has devised a program based upon six core
values—trust, kindness, responsibility, honesty, respect, and thoughtfulness—that form the
basis of a thriving family life. Identifying characteristics of the properly thriving family in-
clude: recognizing and embracing the fact that life is challenging; acknowledging individu-
ality and seeking to develop the unique potentials of each family member in a nurturing
environment; seeking to understand its own history and how this is brought to bear on fam-
ily life, and to find new solutions to old problems; and seeking to create an unshakeable
unit where children will become strong, considerate, and independent adults, regardless of
the challenges that the family faces on its journey. This book draws on the six core princi-
ples to guide parents through each stage of family life. In an age where the concept of fam-
ily is more all-embracing than ever before, this book offers a unifying way forward for all.
David Coleman is a clinical psychologist, a weekly columnist for the Irish Independent, and
the author of Parenting Is Child’s Play.
