Batthew Aromascent and the Missing Corpse Flower (series)

A dazzling new middle-grade mystery series set in the rich world of fragrance!

When the world’s largest and most pungent flower goes missing right before its grand unveiling, the smell-mad city of Candlenut is in uproar. Luckily, Batthew Aromascent, 11-year-old heir to the famed Olfactory fragrance house, and his best friend, Lavender, are on the case. It isn’t just any missing flower, either. It’s a legendary Titan Arum, grown from a seed that was sent by Batthew’s parents – renowned noses, Roger and Joy Aromascent –before they vanished on an expedition deep in the jungle.

Batthew and Lavender have just three days to track the flower down before it wilts and dies, along with any clues as to his parents’ whereabouts. But are they prepared for what they’ll find in the darker corners of the fragrance world?

This irresistible new series has everything: captivating mystery, fast-paced action and slapstick comedy! Perfect for fans of Nevermoor and The Wizards of Once

Maria Petranelli is Prepared for Anything (Except This)

Arrested Development meets Elena Ferrante in this screwball comedy about how to prepare for the worst.

Maria Petranelli feels her height, or lack thereof, is a curse. It gives people the impression she is cute. And cute people are never taken seriously. So when her family declares she ‘couldn’t handle living in Italy’, she immediately signs up to go there on student exchange.

Yet Maria’s family is right. In Italy, she is out of her depth – by the language, the traffic, and by her confusing attraction to Kennedy, the tall, sweet-but-hopeless American student who seems to like her back.

Grumpy/

The two girls are thrown together in the most bizarre circumstances when they are witnesses to both a coincidence and a crime (a heart attack and a murder – not that either can tell the difference), and forced on a cat-and-mouse chase across Italy to save their own lives. All the while battling feelings for each other that are, at the very least … inconvenient.

Maria Petranelli is prepared for anything. Except this.

Philomella and the Impossible Forest

Mystery, humour and sparkling magic combine in this middlegrade fantasy-adventure novel.

A were-dragon? A talking tree?

Saving a world she didn’t know existed? ... Philomella’s having an unusual day.

When Philomella is drawn into the Impossible Forest – a place where anything can happen and usually does – she’s headed for all the adventure she never wanted. There’s a belligerent princess to rescue, trolls to battle and a treacherously bewitching river to cross … and that’s just for starters. They’re all part of a mysterious enemy’s grand plan to destroy both the Forest and Philomella – and in this world of strange and dangerous magic, she’ll have to beat her deadly opponent using only her brains. And so, joined by some oddball companions (including a picnic basket with attitude, a boy whose ancestors were trees and a grandmother with weaponised kitchenware), Philomella sets out to do the impossible.

Can Philomella save the Forest? And can she also learn how to save herself?

Your Brilliant Brain

Take a deep dive into the mysterious and beautiful thing that is your brain!

It’s easy to argue that the human brain is the most extraordinary thing in the known universe. But there is so much we don’t know about the thing behind our eyes. Where do thoughts come from? Why do we dream? Why do we get brain-freeze? Why?! Okay, that last one we do know the answer to.

But there is much to learn – and much fun to be had – by taking a quick poke around the human brain (which would feel a bit like tofu, if you did poke it). Told with Philip Bunting’s inimitable wit, this new non-fiction picture book will explore the most fascinating part of the human body –the bit that makes you YOU, your brain.

The Most Boring Book in the World (series)

A hilarious and delightfully clever picture book that breaks the fourth wall.

This is not just any boring book – it is THE MOST BORING BOOK IN THE WORLD! That is why nothing exciting, funny, or even remotely interesting is allowed in it ...

Book 2 coming 2024!

Our narrator, represented by a pair of bespectacled eyes on the page, really really wants the book to have only boring things in it. Like a grey cardigan. Or a potato. But the reader can’t help but put weird and wonderful things on every page, frustrating the narrator all the way to the end.

Kids will delight in the opportunity to watch the rules being tossed aside for the sake of joyous silliness!
