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.
Grandmother Bear has gone forever, and Little Bear is feel-

will help him understand his loss. Little Bear’s day of ex-
ploring and asking questions brings him comfort and
hope. For the swallows, saying goodbye 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 reassurance that goodbye doesn’t mean the end
of things. Rachel Rivett is the author of Little Grey and the
Great Mystery. Tina McNaughton is the author of My First

hair washed. All sorts of things are happening now that he’s three, and they are all cap-

cle. He can count, draw nice pictures of Daddy, swim—and he can squeeze toothpaste

so that they can have the rest of the evening to themselves. This hilarious pic-
ture book turns the tables on grown-ups with a twisted tale that will have
kids wetting themselves, quite possibly literally. Big Howard tries to get Lit-

and monsters under the bed. But Little Howard has the last laugh with a won-
derful final scene. While parents will love it, children will love it even more.

Satoshi Kitamura
Ewe’ll laugh out loud at the absurdly funny adventures of sheep who are fleeced of
their outerwear by crafty wolves, in this paperback reissue.
“A funny, action-packed adventure . . . suffused with both warmth and wit.”

—New York Times Book Review
“Controlled chaos-high comedy that stops just short of baa-laboring its own
jokes.” —Publishers Weekly
“Kitamura’s deadpan delivery and cinematic cartoons work together swimmingly
. . . The enormously expressive characters are endearing . . . and absurdly funny.”
—School Library Journal
What happens when three sheep leave their coats in the safe-keeping of some wily wolves?
Both wolves and coats disappear, of course! Enter Elliott Baa, Private Detective, who,

Michael
Tony Bradman
Illustrations by Tony Ross
This hilarious classic tale of the worst boy in school perfectly demonstrates
the often unconventional nature of genius in this new reissue.
“A splendid collaboration . . . Bradman’s text is deadpan in its simplicity

and amusing in its understatement, while Ross’s exuberant illustrations
present . . . comic detail.” —Publishers Weekly
“Ross uses his bold, loud style to good effect.” —School Library Journal
Michael was . . . different. His teachers said he was the worst boy in the school.
He was always late and he was a little scruffy.
Is there no hope for him at all? Or is it good to be different? It’s possible that
the disruptive Michael could be doing something more interesting than his as-
signed reading. Tony Bradman’s humorous text and Tony Ross’s zany illustra-
tions make this the ideal picture book for all children, but particularly for children
who are “different” from their peers in some way. Tony Bradman’s previous ti-
tles include Daddy’s Lullaby and The Magnificent Mummies. Tony Ross is the
author of many books, including The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Wash Your Hands!

“Quite simply the best book for cooking with children ever written.
The recipes are mouth-watering and Esmelia Sniff is a laugh-out-loud
kitchen nightmare. There are very few chefs who can change the way
we think about food, but thanks to Esmelia and her pointy-hatted
friends I’ll be putting youngsters on the menu in all my restaurants
from now on.” —Gordon Ramsay

ingredient is children! Many famous culinary witches have contributed—

from Britain—and each of their recipes is introduced by the general editor
Esmelia Sniff. Recipes range from such tangy delights as Seared Tina in Boy
Sauce on a Bed of Fragrant Lice to the more filling Bratwurst and Upset Cab-
bage to sweet Flat Jacks. Featuring a dark subject matter but laugh-out-loud
jokes, absurd characters, and beautiful illustrations, this is the perfect cook-
book for parents and children alike. Martin Howard is the author of The

Littlenose the Hunter

Fishing, firebuilding, family time, an angry mammoth—it’s another collection
of stories about the terrible twosome!
It’s time for Littlenose to learn a little responsibility—so he goes hunting with the adults
and is told to build the campfire. Chaos ensues when he stokes the fire a little too en-
thusiastically, but, as always he manages to redeem himself. In other stories, Littlenose
manages to catch a huge salmon all by himself (but somewhat loses his appetite for
it), and goes on an expedition to collect yellow bogweed from across the marsh. He
also has a holiday with his clever Uncle Redhead (who turns out to have a LOT to
talk about), and goes to visit his cousins—who are scared of Bigfoot! Also, Two-Eyes
loses his patience when Littlenose pelts him with berries (a mammoth, like an elephant,
never forgets): but how will he get his revenge?

The Giant Under the Snow

John Gordon
Illustrations by Gary Blythe
First published in 1968, this enthralling, timeless Green Man fantasy by a master story-
teller created a fascinating world of magic, ancient evil, and curses long before Harry Pot-
ter and His Dark Materials.
“The welcome return of a beautiful tale beautifully wrought . . . has lost none of its
magic . . . since it was first published.” —Herald
“A stirring tale of the Green Man which has not dated since publication in 1968.”
—Evening Standard
Three children find an ornate Celtic buckle. To them it is treasure, a fantastic find but they
have no idea that it has awakened a giant who has lain at rest for centuries. Little do they
know that an evil warlord and his leathermen have also awaited this moment, this chance to
wield their deadly power. In a chilling tale full of menace and suspense the final battle be-
tween good and evil must be fought. Beautifully written, subtle, and evocative, this story tran-
scends age, transporting the reader into an intensely atmospheric world where the imagination
knows no bounds. John Gordon has written 19 books for children, including The Burning
Baby and Other Ghosts, The Flesh Eater, Gilray’s Ghost, and The Midwinter Watch.

“Should be in every library for its vocabulary and the quality of its writing.”
—School Librarian on Nightland
Ben and Clare are staying with Aunt Gwen in Antmouth for the summer. They’ve been told
the coast there is haunted by the ghosts of smugglers, but they are soon much more alarmed
by the living residents of the village. There’s the tall thin fellow in charge of the Insect Zoo,
who acts like the worst kind of mad scientist. And then there are all the fish-eyed golfers who
seem to be spying on them. Why do their golf balls seem to go everywhere—even into the
cottage itself? And what is going on in the big estate at the top of the hill, where a mysteri-
ous dome rises above the trees? Most frightening of all, why do people from the village keep
vanishing? The thin curtain of normality is ripped aside, plunging the reader into a bizarre
world of hidden terror! Robert Dodds is also the author of Nightland, Rattlesnake, and The
Secret of Iguando.

Becky is thrilled to get a summer placement on a weekend style magazine. She’s always wanted
to be a journalist, but Becky’s ambitions are for serious journalism—politics and current af-
fairs, exploring topical issues with real depth. Becky’s resigned to doing the frothy stuff though,
until one day on a train she overhears an intriguing and sinister phone conversation and clev-
erly switches on her dictaphone. It seems that the conversation is about illegal gold bullion and
implicates some high-standing politicians. Becky and her new “colleague” Ben are determined
to get to the bottom of it, but there are distractions; she’s getting very close to Ben, who’s much
too old for her, and her dad—a politician—seems intent on thwarting the investigation. Becky
soon realizes she’s in deep water, both with the reportage and with Ben. It’s a relief when Jake,
a boy her own age, starts taking an interest in her. She’ll never forget her passion and is driven
to succeed, but Becky realizes that she needs to enjoy being a teenager for a while longer, be-
fore the serious stuff sets in. And it’s while she’s hanging out with her new boyfriend that she

Dylan, Andy, and Elliana (Ellie to her friends) have been passionate about their band, Black-

lation from the crowd, and she counts the boys as her best friends, even if they do fight like
cat and dog all the time. But just lately Ellie’s feelings for Dylan have turned from platonic to
something else and that’s tricky because Ellie is going out with Andy. It’s getting more difficult
to cope with her feelings and with Dylan’s moody, self-destructive impulses, so when Ellie se-
cretly auditions for a Pop Idol-style talent show, she knows she’s going to have to make a de-
cision about where her musical future lies—as a mass-market pop act or a credible indie singer
with a cool and original band like Blackstar. Ellie sings a song written by Dylan for her final
performance on the talent show and wins. The crowd can’t get enough of her, or the song it
seems, and that’s when Ellie’s conscience kicks in. Can she really betray Dylan to serve her own
needs? And does her heart really belong with Blackstar after all? As she stands to receive her
winning ovation, Ellie makes a courageous decision.

Just Henry
Michelle Magorian
From the award-winning author of Goodnight Mister Tom comes a gripping
mystery-thriller about the power of cinema, photography, and friendship in
one boy’s life.
“The author has a wonderful gift for hanging a richly woven tapestry
around an essentially simple frame.” —Times Education Supplement
“A thrilling, richly detailed story that rips along to a hair-raising climax.”
—Times
Winner of the 2008 Children’s Costa Book Award
It’s 1949 and life is bleak for Henry. He misses his father who died a war hero,
and he escapes from his annoying stepfather and stepsister whenever he can by
going to the movies. One day he meets Mr. Beaumont, a man who also loves films
and agrees to lend Henry a camera for his school project. Henry is disgusted to
learn that he’s been put in a group with Jeffries, the son of a man who went AWOL,
and Pip, who was born illegitimate. Henry begins to learn that tolerance and friend-
ship are more important than social stigmas when he processes the film and makes
an alarming discovery. Like a bomb waiting to explode, Henry’s world is about
to unravel, and he will need his new friends to keep disaster in check. Michelle
Magorian is the author of several children’s books, including the acclaimed Good-
night Mister Tom.

THE ROMAN MYSTERIES
Caroline Lawrence
Welcome to the world of Flavia Gemina. The year is 79AD and the place is Ostia, port of Rome. From here, Flavia
Gemina, daughter of a roman sea captain, embarks on thrilling adventures with her three friends Jonathan, Nubia,
and Lupus. As she and her friends attempt to solve their first crime, the clues lead them around Ostia: to the harbor,
the forum, the lighthouse, and the tombs of the dead. Later mysteries take them to Pompeii, Rome, Greece, North
Africa, Egypt, Turkey, and finally back to Ostia and Rome.
Caroline Lawrence grew up in California and went to England when she won a scholarship to Cambridge to study
classical archaeology, which she followed with a degree in Hebrew and Jewish studies at the University of London.
She is the author of The Roman Mysteries, which has been turned into a television series for BBC.

The Beggar of Volubilis

An assignment from the Emperor of Rome takes Flavia and her sleuth friends on an
adventure across the North African desert.
Flavia, Jonathan, Nubia, and Lupus are on a quest for the Emperor Titus to steal a valu-
able gemstone known as Nero’s Eye. The Delphic Oracle prophesied that whomever owns
the gem will rule the Roman Empire, so Titus is determined to claim it for himself. Flavia
and her friends travel across the Roman province of Mauretania, from Sabratha to Vol-
ubilis—or modern-day Libya to Morocco. As they travel on a caravan across the desert
they encounter slave traders, pantomime actors, and a wild animal stampede. Along the
way, the young detectives must also try to determine what has happened to Uncle Gaius.

The Scribes from Alexandria

Filled with perplexing puzzles, the four detective friends must follow a complicated
path through ancient Egypt in search of treasure for the Roman Empire.
“If you were appointing a time-traveller to report back on life in first-century

Rome, you couldn’t do better than Caroline Lawrence.” —Daily Mail
A desperate quest begins in the Romano-Egyptian port of Alexandria, the magnificent
city of the great lighthouse, the Library, and the tomb of Alexander the Great. Codes,
riddles, anagrams, and hieroglyphics lead Flavia and her friends down the river Nile to
pyramids and sphinxes, temples and tombs, crocodiles and hippos. But what lies at the
end of their long journey? Treasure or death?

The Prophet from Ephesus

The courageous quartet of Roman Empire-era sleuths makes their way to Asia in search
of a kidnapped compatriot in this compelling mystery.
“The novel opens—and indeed ends—on a note of tension and excitement. This is
an interesting, well researched, and well paced novel.” —The Bookbag
It is August, 81AD. Presumed dead by their families, Flavia and her friends feel very far
from home. News of more kidnappings in Italia reaches them, and when they discover
one of Miriam’s twins is among the missing, the four detectives set out for Halicarnas-
sus in the Roman province of Asia. There they find a countryside full of prophets who
claim to heal the sick and cure the lame, but who may simply be tricksters and villains
in disguise. Once again, the detectives’ loyalties are tested as they are confronted with
hopes for the future and grim legacies of the past.

Juicy Writing
Inspiration and Techniques for Young Writers
Brigid Lowry
From how to get started to how to deal when it gets difficult, a
treasure-trove of inspiration and practical advice on creative writing—
and on living a confident, creative life—especially for teenagers.
Why being a writer is good: you get paid to make stuff up, you get to travel
because it’s research, you can stay home and work in your pajamas. Why
being a writer is bad: sitting by yourself in your study for hours is lonely.
Brigid Lowry knows the highs and lows of being a writer, but she still thinks
it’s a joy. Speaking directly to young people, she offers her own unique
stories and techniques to inspire their creativity and motivate them to ex-
plore the world of words. Taking young writers on a journey to discover
themselves and what they really want to say, she explains how to make
it juicy and original, answering questions such as What do you need to
begin? Where can you find ideas? How can you make your writing bet-
ter? and What can you do if you get stuck? This guide will bring out the
best in all young writers, with suggestions from the practical—buy a new
journal, dust off your diary, find a favorite pen—to the poetic—write hard
and fast into the wild land of your imagination. Brigid Lowry is the au-
thor of Follow the Blue, Guitar Highway Rose, and Things You Either
Hate or Love.

Baby-Led Weaning
Helping Your Baby to Love Good Food
Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett
A commonsense guide to weaning that exchanges the purées and spoons for baby-
selected solid foods.
“It sounds like common sense: after all, would you want to be strapped into a high
chair and force-fed spoon after spoon of bland vegetables? It’s surely much more excit-
ing to be able to exercise a bit of control over your diet.” —Guardian
Though many believe that babies should be weaned by being spoon-fed purées, self-feeding
allows babies to use their natural abilities to explore taste, texture, color and smell. It also
encourages independence and confidence by allowing them to experiment with foods at their
own pace. This practical guide offers parents information on how to introduce a child to
solid food and hints on developing a happy and confident eater. With practical tips for get-
ting started and the lowdown on what to expect, this informed reference show why self-
feeding from the start is the healthiest way for any baby to develop. Gill Rapley has worked
as a nurse for 20 years and has also been a midwife and breastfeeding counselor. Tracey
Murkett is a freelance writer.
