welcome

to the Egmont New Titles Catalogue for 2015

I. n these pages you will find books to appeal to every kind of young reader. We hope you will be inspired by the diversity of our publishing, from classic stories and picture books, to graphic novels, teen and young adult fiction, nostalgia titles, comics, annuals, licensed and branded book publishing of every kind. We are passionate about every strand of our list because we love publishing for children of all ages and tastes. We want to instil a love of reading in all children and that ambition has made us the UK’s leading specialist children’s publisher. This year has been an extraordinary one for Egmont in the UK and internationally. The success of Minecraft has been a truly global phenomenon and we have a continuing programme of publishing to excite, inform and entertain Minecraft’s legion fans. Other highlights for 2015 include an all-new Thomas The Tank Engine programme, celebrating the 70th anniversary of every child’s favourite engine, an extensive range of Star Wars publishing, including novels, novelty titles, sticker activity books and a Where’s the Wookiee Search and Find title, the charming and humorous Winnie-the-Pooh: The Complete Guide to Pooh Sticks, a brand new Mr. Men and Little Miss series featuring well-loved characters in everyday situations that children experience, plus outstanding new novels from established bestsellers David Levithan, Michael Grant and Jim Smith, whose new series Future Rat Boy will appeal to younger fans of the phenomenal Barry Loser.

We continue to discover and are proud to publish prodigiously talented newcomers. Look out for Lisa Heathfield’s chilling debut Seed, uncovering the cruel deceptions of a teenager’s life in a cult, while Me and Mr J is a bittersweet first novel by Rachel McIntyre, exploring the inevitable pains and elations of falling in love with the worst possible person. Andrew Smith follows up 2014’s acclaimed Grasshopper Jungle with The Alex Crow – identifying him as one of the most original new writers on our list. Alex T. Smith, one of the UK’s most popular illustrators, turns his unique eye to his favourite classic: The Hundred and One Dalmatians, to be published as a gorgeous hardback gift book for Christmas 2015 and we are also excited about new picture books from Charlotte and Adam Guillain and Lee Wildish, as well as a new Royal baby picture book by Tim Knapman and Nick East. There are extraordinarily different books here for children of every age, stage and interest but the thing they share is their quality, appeal, and the expertise which has brought them to market.
