‘Okay, let’s get one thing straight before you even think about reading this book ... I am NOT a dog.

Look at me. I’m scrawny, and my coat is wiry. One of my ears is bigger than the other, and my fur is patchy all over. I itch everywhere ... always. I’m not strong or classy, fast or glossy, brave or clever, loud or tough. I’m not the same as the others. I can’t do what they do. I am NOT a dog.’

This is the story of a mixed-up mutt who can’t quite work out where he fits in between the Great Danes and the greyhounds, the Border collies and the bulldogs – and don’t even mention the marmalade cat ...!

Little Ghost is very sleepy. She looks everywhere for a bed to sleep: in a house, in a barn, on a boat - even on the moon. But everyone everywhere is too afraid of ghosts to let her in! Until the little ghost finds a very special place … A heartwarming tale about belonging.

A highly illustrated story of magic and sisterhood from two legendary Irish children's book-makers. An original myth set in old Ireland: the heroicism of the legends of King Arthur combined with the female empowerment of Wicked. Eoin Colfer, author of the internationally bestselling Artemis Fowl series, and P.J. Lynch, fine artist and Kate Greenaway Medal-winning illustrator of The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey, have collaborated on another evocative fairy tale for middle grade readers. Three witches must protect a deep and ancient magic - whatever the cost. Three fairy shapeshifter witches guard the Creedon Stone, the source of all magic, which runs all the way from the middle of the forest to the centre of mother earth. The witches' changeling powers allow the eldest sister, Scrawb, to fight as a crow; the middle sister, Hackle, a wolf; and the youngest, Deerheart, a speckled red doe. When humans come to steal the magic for their own ends, young Deerheart must step up and discover the power within her... A tale of magic, valour and romance.

STEP INTO A MAGICAL WORLDFor readers of Sophie Anderson, P G Bell, Eva IbbotsonAlice has just moved to the village of Little Wobbleton:'The village of Little Wobbleton was as curious a place as could be.

Roads curved and slanted where they didn't need to; some streets seemed to lead nowhere while others led onto themselves; lampposts leaned at questionable angles though still shone brightly at night; and shop bells jingled when customers entered and even more so when they didn't.'A village full of magic and no one knows more about magic than Grebson the Gremlin in charge of the postbox on Muddleworth Lane!The world of Gremlins is complicated, like humans they are proud and get their feelings hurt.

Invited inside, Alice discovers a furious world of magic controlled by Grebson but it's a world in danger. Can she save it?
