02|highlights 2013 It’s official: 2013 is the year of ‘books for book sniffers’ at Templar Publishing. This means more award-winning, innovative titles for readers who like to hold a 'real' book in their hands – to experience the feel of its cover finish, the texture of its paper, the surprise that comes with every turn of a page. In this evolving book environment, we believe more than ever in the power of reading and the importance of the physical book for babies, toddlers, teens and every reader in between. I’m delighted to announce that Mike McGrath joined Templar as Managing Director in July 2012. Mike’s formidable experience and passion for children’s books will take Templar to the next level in coming seasons, allowing me to concentrate on my central role as Creative Director and the all-important business of making more books! Finally, we'd all like to extend our enormous thanks to libraries, bookshops and book sniffers alike for their continued support and encouragement, and hope that you'll find some new gems to love in the pages that follow. – Amanda Wood, Creative Director

What do hamsters, sharks, shape-shifters, fairies, angels, ferrymen, friends, sorcerers and spacemen all have in common? Well, they’re all part of the 2013 Templar fiction list. I’ve been working with Templar for two years and I’m hugely proud of how our fiction list has grown. From a start list of seven titles, 2013 will see us publish over 30 books. And I couldn’t work with a more inspiring bunch of people. From our talented authors and illustrators to the Templar team who make it all happen, we work together to create the best books possible. And Fiction Corner, as we like to call it, is a pretty exciting place to be. How spine-tinglingly brilliant is it when you find a gem on the ‘slush pile’? How rewarding when you work with an author to nurture an idea to a finished book? How amazing when a cover proof is met with audible intakes of breath? You often hear in publishing that fiction is all about ‘the voice’, but in my view it’s also about ‘the vision’. And that’s something we have plenty of at Templar. We aim to provide a platform for our authors’ voices, and a megaphone to let those voices resonate louder and further. And with the combination of our vision and our authors’ voices, I can’t wait for 2013 titles to roll off the presses. — Helen Boyle, Commissioning Fiction Editor

A brand new series for younger readers with black and white illustrations throughout. Everyone knows that sharks are the most awesome creatures of the sea world, though one species of shark has always been a bit less scary than their cousins – the hammerhead. But on Shark Point, a beautiful coral reef community where neighbours of different species live peacefully side by side, one little hammerhead is making a big splash…

harry hammer: shark star

Davy Ocean • illustrated by Aaron Blecha

May 13

Harry’s class are going on a school trip to a famous shipwreck. When Harry and his friends find themselves trapped inside the dangerous wreck, his amazing hammerhead vision helps them find a way out.

When humans arrive at Shark Point to film an underwater documentary, Harry wants a starring role. But Rick Reef is better at showing off than Harry is and his dreams of stardom sink. However, it turns out that humans think hammerheads are much more interesting than reef sharks, and Harry finds himself the star of the show.

Young Harry Hammer would give his right fin to be as fast as a blue shark, as cool as a tiger shark, or as downright terrifying as a great white. Determined to prove that he’s just as brave, tough and scary as any fish in the sea, Harry throws himself into a series of daring adventures, in which only his loyal friends – and his own unique hammerhead abilities – keep him out of trouble.

Fairythorn Tales Lara Faraway

A magical new series supported by a major marketing campaign, Fairythorn Tales combines the charm of The Flower Fairies with the humour and adventure of The Borrowers to create a modern fairy series that will enchant 6–8 year old readers. Signature flower scent panels using latest Smellesence technology add to the collectability of the series. The world we know is only the beginning. Beneath the surface and between the moonbeams is another, more magical, world. A world just out of sight, where flowers sing and birds and animals walk together with the little people of fairyland. At the centre of this world is a Fairythorn tree – the oldest, gnarled trunk in any garden or park. And, if you look very closely, right down at its base, you might just spot a doorway into this magical world. Look very closely now. It’s smaller than you think…

Lara Faraway • illustrated by Patricia Ann MacDougall

April 13

It’s May Day and the fairies (Rose, Lilac, Honeysuckle and Jasmine) and their pet draglings are in high spirits. But not all around the Fairythorn Tree are quite so happy. When Rose spots a sad-looking ‘Big’ – a human girl – she decides to help the girl find a friend.

When the fairies’ pet draglings get scooped up with human child Anna’s pond-dipping for school, it’s up to Lilac to rescue the draglings before the Bigs discover what they’ve caught.

Jasmine has the most beautiful singing voice of all the fairies but she’s scared to use it. But when a wasp nest threatens everyone in the Fairythorn Tree, Jasmine must overcome her fears and sing to calm the angry insects.

Mother Nature is worried. Spring is coming, but where are the bees? Their numbers are down, and the ones that are about seem to be on strike! Can Honeysuckle come to the rescue and keep the flower pollenation on track?

Hi I’m Suzy Puttock (yes, Puttock with a P), fourteen years old and a total disaster magnet. My life’s full of ups and downs. My loved-up big sister Amber’s getting married and wants lime green bridesmaids’ dresses – big down. But this hot new guy, Zach, just started at my school – big up! Only… I’ve had a boyfriend since forever, Danny. So now I’m all kinds of confused…

The final book in the Ishmael trilogy from the award-winning author Michael Gerard Bauer. Ishmael is on a quest to bring home the school cup before he leaves. With Captain Scobie at the helm, he and his unlikely companions will try everything – and anything – to win. With droll camaraderie, shameless determination and some help from the Finger of God, Ishmael and his friends learn to live by their motto ‘To thine own self be true’.

When a mysterious old lantern and a box of painted slides of ghosts and demons come into Sunni and Blaise’s possession, they are drawn back to Blackhope Tower, where they discover that the lantern allows them to journey into the images portrayed in the painted slides. But danger awaits them at every turn, with evil alchemist Soranzo blackmailing Blaise and Sunni to reveal the secrets of the slides in order to get to him. Ensuing events rock Blackhope Tower to its core. Can Sunni and Blaise rid themselves of the threat of Soranzo’s dark powers once and for all? • • • •

But remnants of the twenty-first spell rest within her and she finds she can literally breathe life into the dead. When her baby brother Matthew is snatched, Claire is convinced of the Doctor’s involvement. What does he want in exchange for Matthew’s safe return?

April 13

It was supposed to be the summer of their lives. Instead, Lucy Gosling discovers Harper, her best friend and lead singer in their band, shot dead in their Los Angeles swimming pool. How did it come to this?

Since his girlfriend broke up with him last summer, Sean’s been on a starvation diet where girls are concerned. However, he’s got other things on his mind. Like how to stop the soon-to-be-born family addition from stealing his room and making him share with his evil twin sister. When Coop suggests making a cheap-ass horror film to bring in the bucks and pay for an extension to the house he’s a bit sceptical, but Coop is nothing if not persuasive. Zonkey! is born.

• • • •

Lucy Gosling is the drummer for Crush, the rock band formed by five London schoolgirls and redhot winner of the U.K.’s biggest TV talent contest. But when the band lands in Hollywood, things are not as they seem. Lead singer, Harper, has just one thing on her mind, winning back her ex-boyfriend, and she’ll use any means at her disposal. As the band’s dreams spiral out of control Lucy must decide whether she’s playing to Harper’s tune, or setting the rhythm for the whole band… before it’s too late.

Join Sean, Coop and Matt for the final time in this side-splitting sequel to Swim the Fly and Beat the Band. • • • •

A whirlwind rollercoaster through the glamour and underbelly of the music industry that puts the friendship of five English girls to the ultimate test in sun-soaked Los Angeles.

paperback March 13

March 13

In this hilarious sequel to the popular Silly Doggy! we meet Lily just as her mum finally agrees to buy her a pet… but instead of the longed-for doggy, it’s a kitten. When things start to go wrong around the house, Lily is quick to blame her new little furry friend, but doesn’t notice the much bigger and more dangerous feline – an excited tiger!

Did you know that eating makes crocodiles cry? Or that polar bears can turn green? Or that bees communicate by dancing? Strange, perhaps, but true. Infused with sly humour, Paul Thurlby’s illustrations are so achingly stylish you’ll want to hang each one on your wall.

Inspired by the life of Jemmy Button, a native of Tierra del Fuego who was brought into England in the mid-1800s to be ‘educated and civilised’ by British missionaries and explorers – this retro-style book illustrates Jemmy’s adventures in England and his return back home. This beautiful collaboration between Jennifer Uman and Valerio Vidali was actually born via Google Translate – as neither Jennifer or Valerio spoke each other’s language when beginning this project!

ebooks Templar Publishing is excited to announce that best-selling picture books Man on the Moon and The Pirate Cruncher are now available from digital bookshops as enhanced ebooks.

the pirate cruncher Jonny Duddle

One dark and stormy night, a salty old sea dog tells the tale of a mysterious island, bursting with pirate booty! Captain Purplebeard and his crew have already set sail by the time the dastardly cove mentions the hideous Pirate Cruncher who guards the gold…

Beautifully reproduced for the iPad, each book has gentle animation designed to increase the child’s enjoyment of certain aspects of the story, whilst reinforcing the wonderful and unique reading experience that picture books offer.

The enhanced edition of this beloved picture book (of which over 100,000 copies have sold in the UK) includes text highlighting that allows children to follow Jonny Duddle’s narration in the text.

Look out for further digital editions of our picture books in upcoming months, as Templar continues to explore this exciting new medium.

man on the moon Simon Bartram

Spend a day with Bob as he goes about his work on the moon, and patiently explains to tourists that aliens really don't exist… Overall winner of the 2004 Blue Peter Book Award, voted for by viewers of the programme, highly commended for the 2003 V & A Illustration Award and shortlisted for the 2004 Kate Greenaway Medal, this iconic picture book has sold over 160 thousand copies worldwide.

Fans new and old will love this enhanced edition, which includes an audio narration by the author himself linked to text highlighting, so that reader can follow what they hear on-screen. Engaging animation includes Bob cycling to his rocket and performing acrobatics across the moon. Children can also discover aliens lurking in the background by touching the gold stars (not that Bob notices, of course). A fun musical soundtrack completes the Man on the Moon ebook experience. 978 1 84877 751 4

In addition, thought and speech bubbles appear as Jonny reads them, creating a great read-along ebook that is sure to be a hit. Fun animations add even more life to Jonny Duddle’s fantastic illustrations. See the fiddler playing his fiddle, hear the parrot squark and, out of the corner of your eye, witness a rather sinister tentacle moving in the background of every spread. 978 1 84877 851 1

i can do it! series Ruth Martin • illustrated by Richard Watson February 13

By lifting the large flaps on each page, children can see before-andafter pictures of toddlers putting on different clothes, or taking care of their pets with pride. The very simple text allows toddlers to read along and lift the flaps themselves, reinforcing independence. Everyone will relate to Richard Watson’s lively, cheeky characters, and their delight in their new achievements is so contagious that readers will soon be saying, “I can do it too!”

I’m proud to introduce our innovative non-fiction list, which goes from strength to strength. Our recipe is simple: combine captivating facts with sumptuous illustrations, then add a pinch of paper-engineering magic and bring to the boil in Templar Towers. The result is an award-winning list of books covering subjects as diverse as science, geography and natural history. Highlights include a pop-up bed of nails in Feel the Force!, a chocoholic chapter in How We Make Stuff, and an exotic anglerfish in Astonishing Animals.
