Maggie McKay is not happy that her mum has decided to move from their flat in Leicester to a house in Knobbly Bottom (the most boring village ever invented). Knobbly Bottom has got no soft play centres, no toy shops and no horse that her mum had (sort of) promised her. There are just fields, church fetes and a bunch of boring old sheep! But Maggie soon discovers that Knobbly Bottom is also full of secrets. The sheep are growing fangs, their eyes are turning red and they’re planning to take over the world. When Mum thinks she’s just making up another silly story, it’s up to Maggie, her little sister, Lily, and their new friend Fred—with the help of a strange old lady called Nan Helsing and some stinky garlic bread— to save Knobbly Bottom from the attack of the vampire sheep!

A heartfelt, funny novel about a son taking over his father’s postal delivery job in the hopes of bringing his family back together. 12-year-old Alex is distraught when his parents separate, so he hatches a plan that he’s sure will get his parents back together. All he needs to do is get his dad to finish the novel he’s always talked about writing ... can’t be too hard, right? So, Alex tricks his dad into thinking he has a writing sabbatical and works out a way to take over his dad’s postal route, giving his dad time to write his book and become the successful, happy man he needs to be. But Alex quickly learns postal work is a bit trickier than it might seem; there are the school bullies who throw his letters in the canal, an overly suspicious boss and a lot of angry dogs to get through. Not to mention Willow, the girl on the canal who starts to help Alex but has a dark secret that might derail everything ... As the weeks go by, Alex starts to appreciate how much his dad means to the people in the community. But the lies are piling up and as Alex’s ruse starts to fall apart, he needs his dad more than ever ... successful author or not.

All Elle Campbell wants to do is meet their hero, non-binary icon Nuri Grena. Well, okay, they’d like a bit more than that— they’d like to learn how to do cat eye makeup, for Queen Bee Casey to stop critiquing their outfits and for the finale of Elle’s favourite show to have been less terrible. But meeting Nuri means the most of all. So, when Elle learns that Nuri is coming to town for a book signing on Saturday, Elle is thrilled. It’s the perfect chance to meet their hero! Elle’s never been happier since they came out as non-binary, but they have a lot of questions—questions only Nuri can answer. But Elle’s dreams are dashed when an altercation with a surly substitute teacher lands Elle in Saturday detention. Elle is ready to give up until their two best friends come up with a plan to bust them out of school. A plan so outrageous, it just might work. Yet that’s just step one. The kids also have to make their way across town with no money, no phones ... and no driver’s licenses. But they refuse to give up—even if that means ‘borrowing’ scooters from elementary school loan sharks, or winning a laser tag tournament with a cash prize.
