Gustav and Henri: Volume #1 author Andy Matthews • illustrator Peader Thomas

JUNIOR FICTION

Opposites attract in this humorous graphic novel series about best friends Gustav and Henri. Gustav is a goofy, optimistic and naively enthusiastic pig. Henri is a grounded, pragmatic and quietly sceptical dog. They are as drawn to each other as they are to the weird and ridiculous. Which is a lot. Whether it’s venturing into space to find a lost shuttlecock, or shrinking to the size of microbes to fight a cold, Gustav and Henri are always up for a madcap adventure, so long as they have each other. With the visual appeal of Narwhal and Jelly, the irresistible humour of Dog Man and the value of Real Pigeons (with three stories in one volume), this is the perfect series for kids who love comics and funny stories.

Magic never goes wrong - right? When a circus trick goes horribly wrong and star magician Merry disappears in front of her daughter, Tulsi, everyone believes Merry’s gone forever. But then 11-year-old Tulsi discovers one tiny, impossible sliver of hope for bringing her mother back. If Tulsi learns enough Big Magic before the next full moon, she just might be able to rescue Merry by travelling to a parallel universe – a world where Tulsi has never been born, and one which holds the key to saving their circus. There are reasons it’s all but impossible: it can take a lifetime to learn Big Magic. Tulsi has never done any magic at all. And the only person who can teach her is her estranged grandmother, Sylvie – a strange, unlikeable woman who was banned for ten years from doing Big Magic herself … COVER TO COME
