KATE + JOL TEMPLE Rebel Challenger

Kate and Jol Temple are the internationally award-winning children’s authors of more than twenty books for children. Their books have been translated into 22 languages worldwide. Their picture books include the hilarious bestselling picture book series Bin Chicken.

In 2022, Winner Winner Bin Chicken Dinner was shortlisted for the ABIA Children’s Picture Book of the Year. In 2020, their picture book Room On Our Rock, a poignant allegory about empathy and refugees, was awarded the prestigious Charlotte Huck Award for Outstanding Fiction for Children, recognising fiction that has the potential to transform children’s lives by inviting compassion, imagination and wonder.

Kate and Jol live in Sydney with their two sons. When they’re not writing, Kate pretends to play the tuba and Jol makes little egg-carton shelters for Star Wars characters.

Rebel Challenger is an artist and wildlife carer who lives on a leafy acreage property, south of Brisbane. She has a background in graphic design and art direction, and has a science degree from the time when she wanted to be a park ranger.

Rebel has been drawing since she was a child. Her first artworks were created at about age three using her fingers in the dirt, but these days she mostly draws with ink on paper or creates digital art. Rebel’s artwork is full of humour and colour and is inspired by the animals she cares for, as well as the chickens and ducks who wander around her backyard.

The queen bee? The swot? The drama girl? The class clown? The rebel? Unbeknown to them, the AI robot she is working on at the time decides to determine the answer by testing it out for real.

Trevor was puzzled. “I am a duck. Are there no other birds like me on Niue?” Veka shook her head. “No. You are the only duck on Niue,” she told him.

From Lynda Finn comes the story of Trevor, a mallard duck that was blown from Aotearoa to Niue in 2018. He was embraced by the local community who brought him food, and even the firefighters would call by regularly to top up his puddle so he had fresh water to swim in.

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 compromise. How the right decision is very rarely the easy one, but taking the road less traveled can make all the difference in the world.

Every Lunar Eclipse signifies the beginning of the Immortal Games: An epic set of games played by the Gods of Olympus, with randomly-selected humans as their Tokens. The stakes are high for the Gods who covet entertainment and glory above all else. For the Tokens, it’s about survival. 17-year-old Ara seeks revenge. Revenge on the Gods for allowing her older sister to die in the Games. And now she is consumed with one ambition only—to find a weapon powerful enough to kill a God. But when Ara is plucked from the clutches of death by Hades, God of the Underworld, she realises that she has become a Token herself in the brutal games. Coached by the only God who has never won the games, the odds are stacked against her. Hades is the outcast of the Gods, who selects a Token who is already about to die to give them a second chance at life. But he soon realises that Ara does not fear death, just as she does not fear him. And when a wager offers Hades unimaginable power should his Token win, the games take on a new meaning. As the Games progress, Hades teaches Ara the value of life and living. Ara—still grieving the loss of her sister—teaches Hades compassion. And with Tokens slowly succumbing to the quests, Ara must put aside her rage if she is to survive!

It’s been ten years since the horrific murders at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza tore the town of Hurricane, Utah, apart. Charlie, whose father owned the pizzeria, reunites with her childhood friends on the anniversary of the tragedy, and together they revisit the abandoned pizza place. After they discover a way inside, they realise that things are not as they used to be. The four animatronic mascots that once entertained patrons have a dark secret ... one that sets Charlie and her friends on a path to unravel the many mysteries her father—and his twisted partner— left behind. Now readers can enjoy the complete original trilogy of Five Nights at Freddy’s in one graphic novel boxed set!

Pete lashes out at his younger brother in the wake of his parents’ divorce, falling prey to a gruesome curse. Years of frustration with his family culminate in a loathsome vacation for Bob, who plots a sinister prank to frighten his wife and kids. And, forever desperate to prove his worth to his arrogant brother and distant father, Toby chases victory at an arcade game with horrifying consequences. In the world of Five Nights at Freddy’s, there’s always an enormous price for tempting fate.

In this volume, three stories from the New York Times best-selling series Five Nights at Freddy’s: Fazbear Frights come to life in delightfully horrifying comics. Readers beware: this collection of terrifying tales is enough to unsettle even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy’s fans ...

Mr. D takes Buddy under his wing as an apprentice, and Buddy couldn’t be happier—maybe, as Mr. D says, dreams do come true. But not everything at the studio is as picture-perfect as it seems ... Something is going bump at night in the studio, something that leaves behind trails of thick, dark ink.
