When It Drops A hilarious tale of misplaced affection, the rollercoaster of fame and learning how to accept yourself by debut author, and former radio presenter Alex Dyson. Social outcast Caleb Clifford has a secret talent for … awkward silences. But what he can’t say in person he can say through his songs. His private, never-to-be-heard-byanyone songs. * Cover to come
When his irritating little brother leaks one of Caleb’s songs onto the internet, it goes viral, and pretty soon everyone’s singing along. But Caleb’s not up for being a celebrity. After all, the song is about his crush on his classmate, the unattainable Kirsten Westlake. And it’s called ‘Kirsten’ – surely she’s going to figure things out? And when she does, it’ll be … awkward. Or will it?

All About Mermaids by Izzy Quinn and Vlad Stankovic
The ultimate book for young mermaid enthusiasts! Dive into the world of mermaids and discover everything there is to know about the ocean’s most mysterious creatures. From where they are found to how they sleep, from what they eat to how they raise their young, All About Mermaids is overflowing with fascinating facts that are sure to enchant and enlighten readers. With spellbinding artwork from Vlad Stankovic and absorbing text by mermaid expert Izzy Quinn.
In storybooks, mermaids have real glittering scales, like a fish. In life, they have smooth, sleek tails.
The lacy patterns on a mermaid’s tail often look like scales, though, especially when seen underwater. to These markings help a mermaid blend into her surroundings.

Newborn mermaids are called whelps. They are born knowing how to swim. As the babies grow older, one of their favourite games is to hide from one another, peek out, and then, if they are seen, swim away as fast as they can. They are having fun, but they are learning too. Stealth and speed will help them to track prey – and escape from predators – when they are fully grown.
When they swim, mermaids move their tails up and down – not from side to side, as fish do. 12/4/19 12:10 pm

Allergic Alpaca & Foothand, Elbownose by Kiah Thomas & Connah Brecon
Allergic Alpaca
Foothand, Elbownose
The alphabet comes to life in this laugh-out-loud story with a wonderful suprise ending.
The story of an unhappy foot and a boy who just wants what’s best for everyone.
The start of the alphabet is a great place to live ... unless you’re allergic to apples.
Max’s foot is fed up and wants to be a hand instead — he’s over puddles and prickles and being trod on every day — and Max, being ever so obliging, agrees. All is fine until the other body parts start putting in requests of their own, and when Max finds himself with not only a foothand but an elbownose, a headbottom and a mouthear, he has no choice but to send the body parts back to where they belong. Which, as it happens, suits them.
After an accidental tumble through the alphabet, Alpaca must find her way back home to her friends, Ape, Alligator, Albatross, Anteater and Aardvark. But the longer Alpaca is away from home, the better she feels — her spots disappear, her nose stops running and she has a clear head for the first time ever. Perhaps the start of the alphabet, with all its apples, isn’t the best place for an alpaca after all.

AustralianSeaLife_IN
Blue-ringed octopuses are small, extremely dangerous creatures live in coastal waters that around Australia. They make their homes in places with plenty of crevices and shells to hide amongst, including rock pools, coral reefs and rocky beaches.
There are a number of blue-ringed octopus species. Their skin is patterned in shades of brown and cream – it’s only when they’re scared that they flash with electric blue rings. These bright, pulsing colours are a warning to predators. If that warning doesn’t work, blue-ringed octopuses can use their powerful venom to defend themselves. The stinging part of a blue-ringed octopus’s body is very small, but their venom is lethal. Despite this, blue-ringed octopuses are not aggressive – they’re shy and reclusive, and prefer to hide rather than attack. Blue-ringed octopuses eat things like crabs, shrimp and small fish, using their venom to paralyse prey before eating it. The females carry their eggs securely tucked away underneath their eight tentacles. They take excellent care of them, keeping constant guard until they hatch. Mothers do not generally live for long once their eggs have hatched.

The Type 3 Triceratops formed a key part of the Jurassica ground-attack tactics. Combined with other heavy groundbased species in close-quartered battle, it could absolutely devastate enemy Mechanica. Its carbon horns could gore into any less-protected bellies and cause catastrophic damage to the internal machinery and fuel tanks of its foes.

By Lance Balchin
The ferocity that the Tyrannosaurus Rex displayed in the Battle of Mirandola is legendary. Its deep and terrifying howl was heard above the chaos when the two great mechanical armies met that late December day in Italy. Its place in battle was in the thick of the action, where it would whip its tail (which, like the Velociraptor, could draw a charge from nearby Dimetrodons) to bring down its enemies. It would then gnash and tear at its Aquatica_COVER_FINAL.indd 1 foe with its Strillium teeth.
10/8/18 9:41 am
Liberty would first encounter an early Type 3 variant of the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the wastelands of the Indian subcontinent. The Militia released a small herd of them to test their abilities in the wild against Rabidus Mechanica. Their numbers grew and eventually they would control vast areas and begin a wild evolution that did not end until the Type 17, which still exists today.

Big Hug Books by Shona Innes and Írisz Agócs The Big Hug Books are a series of picture books designed to gently talk about topics that many find emotional.
A Family is like a Cake
Worries are like Clouds
They are the people who help us feel that we belong. Families give us help, support and love, even when we are apart from them. When we are with our family, we feel like we are home.
Some days are so wonderful we wish we could bottle them. But other days we don’t feel like getting out of bed. Worries are like clouds that float in and take the shine out of our day. Moving worries away can make even the toughest day feel a little better.
