ORDERING

Egmont’s company purpose is to make every child a proud reader, because reading for pleasure is more important than wealth or family background when it comes to a child fulfilling their potential. This is good for society and good for the economy. It is also critical for the health of the children’s book market, where print sales still dominate but where the competition from other media for the attention of children and the spend of parents grows ever stronger.

This mission underpins our broad and inclusive portfolio of child-friendly picture books, fiction, non-fiction and brands for children of all ages, from the most reluctant readers to the most enthusiastic. We aim to publish books that reflect the passions, experiences and interests of all children in our society. This commitment is supported by Egmont’s ground-breaking and influential research into reading for pleasure, which you can read about on our website Egmont.co.uk. Our studies address the barriers to reading and book buying and find the solutions, so that we can collaborate with all partners to grow the children’s book market and spread the powerful joy of reading to more families. I am delighted to share with you the new books that bring to life this mission in 2019. Highlights includes our biggest ever year for Amelia Fang by Laura Ellen Anderson (page 34), the hottest gaming brand Roblox (pages 2 – 3) and Speak Up! by Laura Coryton (page 81), which will inspire teenagers from all backgrounds to use their voice. Fiction – Turning debut writers into successful authors We are delighted to welcome acclaimed author Jenny McLachlan to our list with her first middle-grade novel The Land of Roar (page 35). Step inside a child’s imaginary world of dragons, mermaids and ninja wizards, and race to the spine-tingling climax that will make your heart soar. We love funny fiction – and so do children. That’s why we are excited to be publishing books 4 and 5 in Laura Ellen Anderson’s popular Amelia Fang series (page 34), supported by a major marketing campaign and international tour. It’s also why we cannot wait for Andy Stanton’s hilarious new series The Paninis of Pompeii (page 36) to hit the shelves alongside a bold new look for his bestselling Mr Gum series (page 37). And there’s more from everyone’s favourite Loser in Barry Loser and the Trouble with Pets (page 38), the new book in Jim Smith’s hit series with UK sales of 400k copies. Egmont’s Fiction list has a long and successful track record of finding and developing new writers that children will love to read. Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder (page 42), a compulsive and funny crime thriller, will have older readers skewered to their seats. This brilliant debut was the talk of YALC 2018 and is already making waves internationally. And children will fall in love with A Pocketful of Stars (page 39), the upper middle-grade debut from rising star Aisha Bushby, which draws on rich Kuwaiti culture and has an unexpected magical twist . . . Picture Book & Gift – Stories to delight, ideas to inspire young minds We love stories about books so much that we’ve got two of them in 2019: The Book Without a Story (page 70) by Carolina Rabei – Toy Story set in a library! – and The World Book Day Monster (page 65) by Adam and Charlotte Guillain and Ada Gray, a very special celebration of one of the best days in a year and a reminder of why bookshops are so important. Publishing in time for International Women’s Day is Captain Sparklebeard (page 62), Tim Knapman and Sam Lloyd’s gender-stereo-typing-smashing picture book with an original contemporary twist. And for fans of Rob Biddulph’s reimagining of the classic Flat Stanley series (page 63), we will be publishing his gorgeous picture book adaptation. Children and their parents still love print books over digital, and we have two that celebrate the physical pleasure of sharing a book: Sophy Henn’s Lifesize Dinosaur (page 83) features a one-metre long foldout T. Rex jaw, and River Stories (page 85), a gift book about the myths and legends surrounding some of the world’s most important rivers, has five one-metre long gatefolds, plus exquisite artwork by Ashling Lindsay. *Notes: Nielsen BookScan TCM data 2018 to 30th September

Our Red Shed non-fiction imprint is encouraging young women to Speak Up! (page 81) with Laura Coryton, an inspiring campaigner, who fought against the ‘tampon tax’ and won. Laura has written a book to give teenagers the toolkit they need to change the world! Brands and Licensing – Hot trends, popular brands & classic characters that engage all children We are proud to be a leading publisher of children’s brands and the home of family favourites that so many of us grew up with, like Winnie-the-Pooh, Thomas The Tank Engine and Mr. Men and Little Miss (pages 12 - 31). The newest addition to our list is Hasbro’s My Little Pony (pages 20 – 21), which joins the Egmont stable in July 2019 with a range of sparkly new titles for all Pony fans. Egmont’s gaming expertise is second to none. Our specialist editorial and design team creates the must-have books for fans of the biggest games for children. In 2019, we have new titles for the publishing juggernaut Minecraft (pages 4 – 7), which has sold in excess of 20 million copies worldwide, Roblox (pages 2 – 3), which has over 70 million monthly players and has already hit the top ten books for kids in the UK, and we are launching an unofficial publishing programme to ensure we keep our finger on the pulse of the latest trends, starting off with 100% Unofficial Fortnite (page 8). Finally, as all Star Wars (pages 9 – 11) fans await the release of Episode IX, we look forward to revealing our sensational new publishing, starting with the much-anticipated release of Where’s the Wookiee 3 (page 9). The first two titles in the series hit the top ten in the UK and have sold over 400k through Bookscan. We are aiming just as high in 2019. I hope you enjoy browsing through our list and taking inspiration from our research. We very much look forward to working with you to bring our list to the widest possible audience.

When Arthur and Rose were little, they were heroes in the Land of Roar, an imaginary world that they found by climbing through the folding bed in their grandad’s attic. Roar was filled with things they loved – dragons, mermaids, ninja wizards and adventure – as well as things that scared them (including a very creepy scarecrow. . .)

It’s the half-moon holiday in gloomy Nocturnia, which means no school for Amelia and her friends! Instead they are going to spend it with their Rainbow Rangers troop (led by unicorns Ricky and Graham) earning badges on Sugarplum Island.

Now the twins are eleven, Roar is just a memory. But when they help Grandad clean out the attic, Arthur is horrified as Grandad is pulled into the folding bed and vanishes. Is he playing a joke? Or is Roar . . . real?

THE EAGERLY-AWAITED SEQUEL TO THE NEW YORK TIMES AND UK KINDLE BESTSELLER RESTORE ME

It’s been two months since a leaked explicit photo got Izzy involved in a political sex scandal – and the aftershock is far from over. The Bitches Bite Back movement is gathering momentum as a forum for teenage feminists, and when another girl from school has a sex tape shared online, once again Izzy leads the charge against the slut-shamers. This time she wants to change the state law on revenge porn.

The breathtaking and heart-pounding fifth instalment in the incredible New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series.

Izzy and her best friend Ajita are as hilarious as ever, using comedy to fight back against whatever the world throws at them, but Izzy is still reeling from her slut-shaming ordeal, feeling angry beyond belief and wondering – can they really make a change?

Find out what happens next to Juliette, the girl with the power to kill with a single touch . . .

For readers of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Doing It by Hannah Witton and The Spinster Club series by Holly Bourne.

But trouble is brewing and the glittering palaces and extraordinary entertainments of St Petersburg hide sinister secrets . . .

Avery (Night Owl) is bookish, intense, likes to plan ahead, and is afraid of many things. Bett (Dogfish) is fearless, outgoing, and lives in the moment. What they have in common is that they are both twelve years old, and their dads are dating each other.

With enemies galore lying in wait on the city’s streets and no longer sure who they can trust, will Lil and Sophie be reunited before it’s too late?

Bett and Avery are sent, against their will, to the same camp for the summer vacation. Their dads hope that they will find common ground and become friends – and possibly, one day, even sisters.

But when her littlest sister is fishnapped, Molly must dive in and be the best mermaid she can. The McGowan sisters set off on a mission to reunite their family, save the merworld and see if they can be together for longer than five minutes without arguing – will they do it? You’ll have to wait and SEA. . .

• Uniting the ever-popular, glittery world of unicorns and rainbows with a comedy voice – for fans of Pamela Butchart, the Worst Witch and unicorns

Molly McGowan’s dull seaside life is turned upside down when she turns 13 and is let in on the family secret: she’s part-mermaid! Her sisters love their glittery underwater life, which mostly consists of swimming around after hot mermen, and they can’t wait for Molly to join in their Howto-be-a-Mermaid lessons. But Molly is not so sure: growing up is hard enough without having to worry about sprouting a fish tail at random moments.

Dave isn’t quite the sparkly unicorn Mira was expecting to find at the end of the rainbow – he’s more grumpy than glittery, more interested in lunch than magical quests and he always runs off when Mira tries to ride him – but Mira’s not going to let that get her down. Along with her new friends and their (much more glittery) unicorns, she is determined to be the best at quests and save the Rainbow Forest (and stop for lots of snacks!).

When fifteen-year-old Kenzie wakes up in hospital in a darkened room, she’s also in the dark about what has happened. At first, no one will tell her what’s wrong – but eventually doctors break the devastating news that she has been struck down by a rare genetic condition. The symptom of this condition is that her skin has become transparent, revealing everything inside of her. She feels repellent to look at. But when a medical photo of her is leaked and goes viral, the press attention is massive.
