Dear Readers, Welcome to our fabulous list for the second half of 2019. We are thrilled that October heralds the return of the incomparable Jim Kay, with the illustrated edition of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It is a feast for the eyes, heart and imagination. We welcome back picture book favourite Sam Lloyd with the irresistibly funny, action-packed Midnight
Ninja. Tom Percival follows Perfectly Norman and Ruby’s Worry with Ravi’s Roar – perfect for little tantrum-
ers everywhere (and their parents!). And the magical partnership of Hollie Hughes and Sarah Massini brings us the beautiful, tender, heart-warming The
Girl and the Dinosaur.
Catherine Doyle is a rising star of middle-grade fantasy adventure, and we adore The Lost Tide Warriors – the richly imagined, unforgettable follow-up to The Storm Keeper’s Island. The
Space We’re In is Katya
Balen’s debut – a heartbreaker, flecked with hope and humour, that will grab readers from nine to ninety (illustrated by the marvellous Laura Carlin). And in YA, Karen Gregory’s I
Hold Your Heart is
a story of love and control, attraction and obsession, intimacy and intrusion, and the dangerous spaces in between – completely addictive, and very important right now. Non-fiction continues to boom beautifully – and the magnificent Kate Pankhurst’s Fantastically Great Women series heads into new formats, including merchandise. Meanwhile, we have been empowered and swept away by Epic
Tales of Triumph and Adventure. Written by Simon
Cheshire and illustrated by Fatti Burke, this features 66 astonishing
true stories of heroic men and women from around the world. We are all inspired and awestruck by the talent of our authors and illustrators. I hope you will be too!

SOMETHING DEADLY IS GROWING IN THE PANGANI RIVER.
ANT HAS LED THE NEKTONS TO A SHIP GRAVEYARD.
A fallen star has contaminated the water, endangering the lives of the marine creatures that the Nektons are sworn to protect.

The ocean is a strange place, and Ant is about to come face-to-face with something that will turn everything he believes upside down ...
Finn Black is an avid storyteller who grew up weaving exciting tales of the natural world and the explorers who travel it.
