When Nelly asks Bear what kind of bear he is, he isn’t entirely sure how to answer.

So off he goes to find out . . . But none of the different bears he meets on his travels are like him. Grizzly bears don’t have funny stitches; polar bears don’t have washing labels attached to their bottoms; spectacled bears are simply not as soft and bouncy as him; and sun bears NEVER wear smart bow ties. So, disheartened, he returns to Nelly . . . only to discover EXACTLY what kind of bear he is after all – her own special bear!

The Grunts series Philip Ardagh Axel Scheffler (ill.)

PB 978 1 78800 057 4 EB 978 1 78800 058 1 January 2019

This quirkily comic series is packed with ingeniously implausible adventures, larger-than-life characters and all manner of disgusting delights!

Oh dear. The Grunts are back.

Mr Grunt has to get a POGI (that’s a Person of Great Importance, apparently) to a certain person at a certain time. On an island. And there are others out there who want the POGI for themselves.

Add to this the wheelchair-whizzing Speedy McGinty, the mysterious Max and Matha (sharing a single moustache between them) and Rodders Lasenby who’s turned rudeness into a fine art, and you’ll see why the Grunts’ stolen son Sunny doesn’t know who to trust ... or whether Fingers the elephant will sink the boat and leave them all at sea.

PRAISE FOR THE GRUNTS IN TROUBLE A Telegraph Top Ten Children’s Book of the Year “clever word-play, irony and plain silliness ... wonderfully incisive and daft illustrations ... laugh out loud.” Telegraph “Their adventures are as unsavoury as they are entertaining ... Fans of Roald Dahl’s The Twits will delight in this disgusting but amiable family.” Guardian

In an alternative 15th century, orphan Benjamin Blank battles monsters and discovers fantastic new lands with dragons and steampunk robots, but he never manages to get his homework in on time!

“Awesome”

EVIE, AGE 9

BENJAMIN BLANK loves a scary story as much as a good adventure. The MOON-FACED GHOUL-THING is his favourite. The hollow eyes, the scratchy legs, the razor-sharp claws… Brilliant!

But when it actually turns up in his bedroom, Ben decides he doesn’t like the story any more. And he definitely doesn’t want to know how it ends…

“This is a farm, not a theatre,” snapped Hannah’s father. “Now get out of that mud, girl.”

Since the death of her mum, Hannah’s family life has been a bit of a mess. Her father works all day, every day, on the their falling-to-bits farm, and the four children are pretty much left to themselves.

While her younger brother keeps an eye on the tractors and her sisters look after Jasper the enormous pet sheep, Hannah finds a rickety old hen house on the edge of the farm. She decides to turn it into a theatre and put on a play that she’s written herself.

But then the farm is threatened with demolition. Hannah hatches an even more ambitious, top secret plan to help save her family’s home and livelihood. Who can she trust? And what will happen when her dad finds out?

A funny, moving story from an exciting new author.
