Louis Shea Louis Shea

Louis Shea is an illustrator of many children’s books including the best-selling There was an Old Lady series, Where’s Santa? and Where’s the Easter Bunny? look-and-find books.

The child of an art teacher and artist, Louis initially rebelled and studied science at university, before being inexorably drawn back into the world of illustration. After completing his Honours Degree in Graphic Design, he spent many years unsuccessfully trying to avoid logos and business cards. Thankfully, in the end, he was rescued by a generous publisher who saw something in his silly scribbles.

After many years of illustrating picture books, he branched out into the world of graphic novels in 2021, with his new series School of Fish.

Louis lives in Armidale with his partner, two children and one disobedient border collie ... and still occasionally dreams of being an astronaut.

December 6, 1941: Best friends Frank and Stanley have it good. Their dads are Navy pilots stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and the boys get a front-row view of the huge battleships and the sparkling water. Yes, World War II is raging in Europe and in Asia, but the US isn’t involved in the war and the boys are free to dream about becoming comic book creators. They’ve even invented a superhero of their own, in the style of Batman, Superman, Captain America and other stars of the Golden Age of Comics. Maybe they’ll even get their comic published someday. December 7th, 1941: Everything explodes. That morning, Frank and Stanley are aboard the battleship the USS Utah when Japanese planes zoom overhead and begin dropping bombs on the ships below. Chaos ensues as everyone scrambles to dive for safety. Frank and Stanley realise what’s happening: Japan is attacking America! The war has come to them. As the boys fight to make their way home amidst the carnage, it’s clear that everything has changed. Stanley’s mother is Japanese-American and he is suddenly facing a terrible prejudice that he’s never known before – he’s now seen as the “enemy,” and Frank, who’s white, cannot begin to understand what Stanley will now face. Can their friendship – and their dreams – survive this watershed moment in history?

SALES POINTS:

• A new action-packed novel from Alan Gratz, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of Ground Zero and Two Degrees.

• An inventive and powerful take on the attack on Pearl Harbor told with immediacy, high-stakes action and meaningful twists.

Artem lives in the sleepy city of Stalingrad, which has mostly been cut off from war with Nazi Germany—until now. That July, martial law is declared as the Nazis begin their unprecedented march toward the city. Artem’s older brother is a soldier in Stalin’s Red Army, and Artem is worried for his brother’s safety once he and his family have evacuated the city. Then the announcement comes. Stalin has ordered that no civilians be allowed to leave Stalingrad. The city that bears his name is an important symbol, and the Red Army believes that the soldiers defending it will fight all the harder if their families’ lives are at stake. Artem and his new friend Yuna are put to work shoring up the city’s defences, digging trenches and building fortifications. Then, on August 23rd, the bombing begins. A massive German air raid reduces most of the city to rubble. With Stalingrad blockaded by both the Germans and their own government, escape from the coming battle seems all but impossible ...

Set in the 1960s, Koro’s Star is a heart-warming, exciting, adventure story.

It’s the beginning of the summer holidays in 1967 when 10-year-old Atama moves with his family into a new army base. His father, Atama’s hero, departs for Vietnam, asking Atama to look after his mum and his younger sister, Maia, while he’s away.

Atama is nervous about making friends at the new camp, so his dad leaves a surprise under his pillow: Koro’s 1939–1945 star medal, handed down to Dad after his own father died during World War Two. Atama finds new friends, but has to undergo an ‘initiation’ to become part of their club. Wearing Koro’s medal around his neck, Atama hopes it will give him courage ... but is unprepared for what lies ahead, deep in the tunnels beneath the army base.

On May 10, 1940, the Nazis begin their march across Europe, and within weeks, France has fallen. At first, Nicolette’s world seems more or less the same despite the occupation. She and her best friend, Jules, still spend their days after school racing around Paris on their bikes and their evenings rushing through homework when they’d rather be riding. But as the months pass, the Third Reich tightens its hold on France and it becomes clear just what is at stake. Nicolette and Jules are drawn into a growing resistance movement, determined to do their part to fight back. It’s a deadly secret they’ll have to keep from everyone, including their families. Nicolette’s own father works for local law enforcement, which is now under Nazi control, and who knows what might happen if anyone found out she joined the Resistance. But as Hitler’s empire grows, no one can escape the horrors of war. Including Nicolette.

One night, she vanishes without a trace, taken from the street by Nazi soldiers and declared an enemy of the state. Soon, Nicolette finds herself confronting the very heart of Hitler’s plans, bearing witness not just to the atrocities, but also to the courage, bravery, and hope that can emerge in even the darkest times. And it is in these small but powerful moments that Nicolette realizes her greatest weapon against the Nazis: to live, so she can tell the world the truth of what happened. But can one girl survive what was designed to destroy so many?

SALES POINTS:

• Perfect for fans of Ruta Sepetys, Monica Hesse, Sharon Cameron, Alan Gratz, and Elizabeth Wein.

Isa de Smit was raised in the vibrant, glittering world of her parents’ small art gallery in Amsterdam, a hub of beauty, creativity, and expression, until the Nazi occupation wiped the color from her city’s palette. The “degenerate” art of the Gallery de Smit is confiscated, the artists in hiding or deported, her best friend, Truus, fled to join the shadowy Dutch resistance. And masterpiece by masterpiece, the Nazis are buying and stealing her country’s heritage, feeding the Third Reich’s ravenous appetite for culture and art.

So when the unpaid taxes threaten her beloved but empty gallery, Isa decides to make the Nazis pay. She sells them a fake—a Rembrandt copy drawn by her talented father--a sale that sets Isa perilously close to the second most hated class of people in Amsterdam: the collaborators. Isa sells her beautiful forgery to none other than Hitler himself, and on the way to the auction, discovers that Truus is part of a resistance ring to smuggle Jewish babies out of Amsterdam. But Truus cannot save more children without money. A lot of money. And Isa thinks she knows how to get it. One more forgery, a copy of an exquisite Vermeer, and the Nazis will pay for the rescue of the very children they are trying annihilate. Yet, worth is not always seen from the surface, and a fake can be difficult to spot. Both in art, and in people.

SALES POINTS:

• Sharon Cameron weaves a gorgeously evocative thriller, simmering with twists, that looks for the forgotten colour of beauty, even in an ugly world.

• This evocative thriller is perfect for fans of Ruta Sepetys, Monica Hesse, and Kristin Hannah, with strong cross-over appeal.

• “Painterly prose ... filled with rich intrigue depicts constantly shifting issues of trust in this complex, absorbing tale.” Publishers Weekly, starred review.

High school star athlete Colin Kaepernick is at a crossroads in life. Heavily scouted by colleges and MLB as a baseball pitcher, he has a bright future ahead of him as a highly touted prospect. Everyone from his parents to his teachers and coaches are in agreement on his future. Colin feels differently. Colin isn’t excited about baseball. In the words of five-time all-star MLB player Adam Jones, Baseball is a white man’s game. Colin looks up to athletes like Allen Iverson: talented, hyper-competitive, unapologetically Black, and dominating their sports while staying true to themselves. College football looks a lot more fun than sleeping on hotel room floors in the minor leagues of baseball. But Colin doesn’t have a single offer to play football. Yet. This touching graphic novel explores the story of how a young change-maker learned to find himself and never compromised. How the right decision is very rarely the easy one, but taking the road less travelled can make all the difference in the world.

SALES POINTS:

• Activist and athlete Colin Kaepernick’s first biography for young adults, in graphic memoir form.

• Graphic memoir is one of the hottest formats for young adults in recent years.

• Colin’s Netflix series Colin in Black & White debuted October 2021 and won an NAACP Image Award.
