When Cecil and his family move from Florida to Massachusetts, his world suddenly becomes a little scary.

And to complicate things even more, his older sister tells him he should make friends with other Black kids. Cecil has always wanted to be known for his comic book-making talent and tries to use that to make new friends. But he’s torn when he realises that the kids who are impressed with his comics aren’t always nice to him. And when one of his drawings is misused and gets him into serious trouble, can Cecil stand up for himself and figure out who his real friends are?

Sunny argues that watching TV is an after-school activity, but her mum disagrees… When Sunny realises that she might need to enrol in some sort of outside of school activity, she looks at her options. While she isn’t quarterback material, or a potential track athlete, she tries out for cheerleading, but her attempts are… not the best. When her friend, Arun, suggests they start a debate club, she’s not sure what that even means. Isn’t debating just arguing? Which she’s good at. But when they enlist a debate coach, Sunny learns there’s so much more to debating than she ever thought. And when she starts getting serious… who knows how far her debate team can get!

SALES POINTS: • The fifth book in the New York Times best-selling Sunny series from award-winning author duo, Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm! • Sunny finds herself in the spotlight in a competition unlike any other. • Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier looking for more stories with humour and heart.

SALES POINTS: • A semi-autobiographical middle-grade graphic novel about fitting in, being different, being new at school, frenemies and finding your voice. • Cecil has to move interstate which means leaving his friends and school behind.

Victoria Street is a crossroads, like in those old stories of bushrangers and highwaymen. It’s a place where everyone and everything crosses paths ... A street right out of a fairytale, I reckon. It’s 1973, and 11-year-old Billie is living in the best street in the whole world: Victoria Street in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Billie can’t imagine being anywhere else. But things are changing. Billie’s neighbours are being forced out of their homes, and scary people are patrolling the street, trying to get everyone to leave. Without realising it, Billie, her family and her neighbours find themselves caught up in one of the most important public protests in Sydney’s history. The battle for Victoria Street is their fight to save their homes and their way of life from destruction.

This is the story of Scotty the Scottish Terrier. It tells how he went to Gumnut Land and what befell him there ... Scotty wasn’t very happy in his home in the Big Bad City.

Out of the garden he ran into the magical world of Gumnut Land. Scotty’s adventures take him all around the Australian Bush, into the Valley of the Caves, the friendly hustle and bustle of Gumnut Town and beyond! Join Scotty on his journey and meet a fantastical cast of creatures: Mr and Mrs Bear, Bib and Bub, Old Bill, the terrific Tiggy Touchwood and Miffrend of Squeaking House.

Merida understands that as princess of Clan DunBroch, she has certain obligations, but that doesn’t mean she has to like it. Determined to chart her own path, Merida follows magical wisps to a witch’s cottage, where she is given a tiny cake and promised it will incite ‘a great transformation’ in her mother. But instead of feeding Elinor the witch’s cake, Merida eats it herself. Merida awakens in the past, with a teenage Elinor holding a knife to her throat and accusing her of espionage. And it just so happens that the timing of Merida’s arrival has kept Elinor and Fergus from meeting. Will Merida be able to bridge the rival clans, help her parents fall in love and change her own fate?

SALES POINTS: • The Twisted Tale series is one of the most popular YA novels. It has even become a New York Times best-selling series! • This is the 18th book in the series, which has established a loyal fan following. • Bringing Merida to life once more, this twisted tale is a time-travelling whirlwind that will grip readers from the very first page. © 2024 Disney
