Sophia and the Corner Park Clubhouse A sparklingly funny and heartfelt new middle-grade series, for fans of Gilmore Girls and Ann M. Martin’s iconic Baby-Sitters Club series. For Belle, it’s an empire. For Lola, it’s a canvas. For Maisie, it’s a refuge. For Sophia, it is home. Sophia and her lifelong best friends are reunited at their old favourite hangout – the Corner Park Clubhouse – after their first term at different high schools. But it soon becomes obvious that in spite of pinkie swears and promises, they’re drifting apart. The one thing keeping them together is the clubhouse, which holds special memories for each of them – and after what happened there last summer, it means more than anything to Sophia. So when they find out it’s going to be bulldozed, the girls set out in a race against time to save it – and their friendship – from demolition.

The Brilliant Ideas of Lily Green A dash of Judy Blume, a spoonful of secrets and a whole lot of fun get mixed up in this big-hearted debut by Ampersand Prize-winning author Lisa Siberry. Twelve-year-old Lily Green’s world is falling apart. Her best friend, Violet, is more interested in the latest shade of lip gloss than hanging out. Her enemy, Zoe, is determined to beat Lily in the school science competition – and win Violet’s friendship, too. Worst of all, Lily’s precious family beauty salon – the last connection she has to her dad – has hit hard times, and her mum has decided to sell it.

But are her inventions as beautiful as she thinks? And when things start turning … ugly … can Lily find the real ‘secret ingredient’ that will save the salon, seal her friendships, and win the school science competition? Beautifully written and full of warmth, this captivating middle-grade novel explores family, friendship and the true meaning of beauty.

Everywhere Everything Everyone A vivid, captivating contemporary YA novel about the power of resistance, from a stunning Australian debut author. Perfect for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and Z for Zachariah. Even though she lives on the wrong side of town, 16-year-old Santee believes her world is like ours: that running late for curfew will only get you grounded, and that the government tries to keep its good citizens safe and secure. Until suddenly, everything changes.

DRAFT COVER

On her way home from school, Santee takes a detour to the outskirts of town with a boy she likes – and then finds herself stranded overnight when his car breaks down. When she’s finally able to get a lift towards home the next morning, Santee discovers that everything has changed. A ‘safety border’ – a wall – has gone up around her part of town, imprisoning her family and trapping her on the outside ... With its subtle familiarity and a tender, defiant teen romance at its core, Katy Warner’s powerful debut novel is about the importance of hope and standing up for what you believe in. From small cracks, big cracks grow.
