Naughty Little Dragons: Dragon Mayhem! Ava and Jack are getting a new pet. Two, in fact. Forget about kittens and puppies, though – Ava and Jack are getting something much better. They’re getting DRAGONS!

Draft illustration

In the Laidley Hundreds, dangerous wild dragons live in the highlands. But dragons aren’t born bad – just naughty! The Dragons at Home Project rescues abandoned dragon eggs; once they hatch, the young dragons go to live with human families. But teaching a mischievous pair of dragons how to stay out of trouble isn’t easy, and Jack and Ava will have their work cut out for them with Graun and Fafnine. They might look sweet, but don’t let that fool you – these dragons can cause trouble like you wouldn’t believe.

Stars Like Us From the winner of the Ampersand Prize comes this smart, swoony LGBTQ YA novel about a teenage band on the way to the top – so long as they can hold it together. Liliana’s hitting all the wrong notes. She’s a sixteen-year-old exchange student with a secret crush on Carter, her new band’s smoking hot guitarist – but she’s also got a girlfriend back home. So when she writes a song about him and it lands the band a record deal, she quickly realises she’s in hot water. Soon, Liliana will have to choose – between an alluring boy and the girl she left behind, between love and lust, and between the fame that beckons and staying true to the music that’s in her heart. With shades of hit TV series Nashville, the musical passion of Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and the band drama of Fleetwood Mac, this brilliant own-voices YA debut is perfect for music lovers everywhere.

Young Adult

When It Drops A flat-out funny debut YA novel about secret crushes, going viral and one homemade love song that could change everything – for better or worse! Caleb has earbuds, not real buds. And he prefers it that way, because: 1. They always give him what he wants to hear. 2. He can adjust the volume. 3. If things get tangled, it’s relatively easy to straighten them out again ... Sixteen-year-old songwriter and aspiring social outcast Caleb Clifford fills his world with music, but – like most things – keeps his songs to himself. That is until his little brother leaks Caleb’s most personal track online; a track that’s quite obviously about his secret crush. Having his innermost feelings (accompanied by a funky bassline) go viral is not Caleb’s idea of a good time. But is this the end of everything, or the start?
