Even at the age of sixteen, Katniss Everdeen knows it takes hard work, keen observation, and inner fortitude to survive in the world. Her home, District 12, is under the merciless rule of the Capitol, continually forced to pay after losing a long-ago civil war in the nation of Panem.
One of the ways the Capitol keeps control is its annual Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death featuring two young tributes from each of Panem’s twelve districts. This gruesome battle is meant to send home a chilling message: Rebellion will always be punished.
When Katniss finds herself in the Hunger Games arena, she knows the odds aren’t in her favour. Any wrong move will end her life—and even the right moves come with a cost. But if she can survive, there is a chance the districts may survive as well. For her, survival is second nature.

Bullied at school about his stutter, and feeling ignored at home by his mum, stepdad and stepsister, Thomas takes off to the beach with the family dog, Lucy. The dog begins barking outside a cave. Bold enough to investigate, Thomas finds an injured dragon. He is frightened at first but something about the dragon’s eye reassures him and invites him to come closer. A friendship is sparked. Determined to help the dragon he’s called Puff, Thomas confides in his friend Huhana, who to his surprise doesn’t dismiss his dragon as make-believe and tells him about Māori taniwha, some of which were believed to act as protective guardians. The dragon flies Thomas to visit his estranged father, and he learns about the accident that caused his stutter. As Thomas gains confidence throughout the story, with the help of Huhana and Puff, he stands up to the bullies and helps uncover an illegal logging operation that threatens the town. As his confidence builds, he loses his stutter and his need for the dragon dwindles.
SALES POINTS:
• Inspired by the song ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’, about a boy who invents a magical dragon, but as he grows up the dragon slips away.
• The reader is left wondering whether this magical dragon was ever real or just a figment of Thomas’s imagination.

‘You are to report to Station X at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, in four days time ... That is all you need to know.’ This was the terse telegram hundreds of young women throughout the British Isles received in the spring of 1941 as World War II raged. As they arrived at Station X, a sprawling mansion in a state of disrepair surrounded by Spartan-looking huts with little chimneys coughing out thick smoke—these young people had no idea what kind of work they were stepping into. Who had recommended them? Why had they been chosen? Most would never learn all the answers to these questions. Bletchley Park was a well-kept secret during World War II, operating under the code name Station X. The critical work of code-cracking Nazi missives that went on behind its closed doors could determine a victory or loss against Hitler’s army. Amidst the brilliant cryptographers, flamboyant debutantes and absentminded professors working there, where teenage girls kept Station X running. Some could do advanced maths, while others spoke a second language. They ran the unwieldy bombe machines, made sense of wireless sound waves and sorted the decoded messages. They were expected to excel in their fields and most importantly: know how to keep a secret. Candace Fleming is the award-winning and highly acclaimed author of Crash from Outer Space, The Curse of the Mummy and many other nonfiction books for young readers. With her canny and compelling narrative voice, she makes history come alive. The recipient of five-star reviews and thick with tension and suspense, The Enigma Girls is an extraordinary and relatively unknown story of World War II that will fascinate readers who will be thrilled to see young people playing such an important role in the wartime effort.
SALES POINTS:
• Candace Fleming is a best-selling and acclaimed author of nonfiction for all ages. She received the Sibert Award for Honey Bee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera, the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh and the LA Times Book Prize for The Family Romanov, among numerous other awards.
• She’s well-known in the institutional and library markets for her impeccable research, accessible and compelling storytelling and history of starred reviews and awards.
• Candace Fleming brings to light the story of so many young women—teenagers, often—who worked at Station X and were overshadowed throughout history by men. In this book, she highlights their triumphs and gives them the recognition they deserve.
• This is perfect for young people (especially girls) who are interested or involved in STEM and STEAM.

Sixteen-year-old Dayana has always dreamed of visiting London—to walk along the Thames, take pictures outside Buckingham Palace and maybe even get a glimpse of Arthur, Prince of Wales, whose marriage has been all over the tabloids. But the trip of her dreams turns into a royal nightmare when her mother passes away. Now, Day must leave Rio de Janeiro to live with her estranged father and his new family in London. As it turns out, the U.K. isn’t exactly Day’s cup of tea. She struggles to forgive her father for walking out on her and her mum all those years ago; fights with her stepsister constantly; detests her stepmother; and she can’t even see One Direction in concert because they’ve been broken up for ages. All she wants to do is trade the rainy skies of London for the sun and beaches of Rio. That’s when she runs into the girl of her dreams—literally: The coincidentally named Diana, a witty, funny, redhead who was in the middle of ... escaping Buckingham Palace? Something isn’t right here, but it makes Diana all the more alluring. As time passes and the two girls grow closer, Day can’t help but wonder if there is more than a little truth to the rumours surrounding Prince Arthur—and if Diana might be involved somehow. Is it all in her head, or could Day be caught up in a real-life royal scandal?
SALES POINTS:
• London On My Mind combines all the elements that make for great, commercial YA fiction that’s funny and packed with drama. Dayana is a fish-out-of-water who (literally) stumbles upon the girl of her dreams—and that girl has a secret.
• The royal family has been all over the news and social media and the royal theme works well in YA and crossover fiction. This is very-much the YA response to Casey McQuiston’s Red, White & Royal Blue.
• The novel explores timely themes that teens today face, including divorce, learning to live within a blended family and consent.
• Clara Alves is well-known in the Brazilian YA circle and has a significant social media presence with 35,000+ followers on X and 38,000+ followers on Instagram. She has published several novellas and two novels in Brazil and she’s ready to take the U.S. by storm.
