“Legge’s rounded, glowing, comforting illustrations cleverly embed im-

ages of a variety of animals into each scene . . . making each page a de-

bedtime routine is transformed into a delightful game, as Daddy imagines
all the different sorts of kisses that other animal babies give their dads: “‘Now
what about a big bear kiss for me?’ said Dad. ‘No!’ said Baby Bear. ‘No kiss
for Daddy.’ ‘Oh dear,’ said Daddy, carrying Baby Bear up the stairs. ‘How
about a koala kiss instead? Baby koalas give their daddies cuddly, clingy kisses,
like this . . .’” This warm, affectionate story is perfect for children and their
daddies to share!

Cat in the Manger

Michael Foreman
The wonder of the Nativity is captured through the eyes of a cat in this
magical holiday classic Michael Morpurgo called “the best Christmas story
since Dickens”
“Appealing . . . gorgeous, shadowy watercolors of the Middle East are
awash in the soft, holy light generated by the infant in the manger.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Foreman’s illustrations effectively capture the interplay between the

everyday life of the animals in the barn and the wondrous events sur-
rounding the birth of this very special baby.” —School Library Journal
“The simple words express the wonder . . . That feeling of awe is also
in the pictures . . . the small cat’s viewpoint also brings intimacy to the
momentous event.” —Booklist
A long time ago, in a faraway land, a cat lived in a barn. Of course, he had to share it with all the other animals: cows, goats,
chickens, and mice. Then, one wintry night, the door flew open and in came a man and a woman on a donkey, to take shelter
from the snow. Beautiful watercolors and the cat’s simple words create a moving retelling of the story of the birth of Jesus.
Michael Foreman is a Kate Greenaway Award– and Smarties Book Prize–winning illustrator who has worked on a vast range of
children’s books. He is the author and illustrator of several books, including Cat in the Manger, Classic Fairy Tales, and Hello World.

My Little Easter Story
Christina Goodings
Illustrations by Claudine Gévry
A gorgeously illustrated small-format retelling of the Easter story,
ideal for preschoolers
Long ago, in Galilee, lived a man named Jesus. He told people how
to live as friends of God. “Do for others what you want them to
do for you,” he told them. “Love one another—even those who are
unkind to you. Forgive others, and God will forgive you.”
This simple and sincere retelling of the Easter story is perfect for
young children, introducing them to the great story at the heart of
the Easter festival and its message of love. Bright illustrations help
the story along, telling little children about all the events of the
first Easter as told in the gospels. Key points include Jesus’ entry
into Jerusalem and Palm Sunday, Jesus’ clearing of the temple, the
last supper and Judas’ betrayal, Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection,
the appearance of the risen Jesus to the women at the tomb, and
the spreading of the good news throughout the world.

Simon and the Easter Miracle
A Traditional Tale for Easter
Mary Joslin
Illustrations by Anna Luraschi
Together with sophisticated artwork, a picture book retelling of a traditional Eu-
ropean tale, with the events and meaning of the first Easter at its heart
“Beautiful book of prayers.” —School Library Journal on The Lion Book of

Day-by-Day Prayers
Both thought-provoking and engaging, this is the story of Simon of Cyrene—“a man
coming in from the country,” as the Gospels refer to him—who was ordered to carry
Jesus’ cross. Over the centuries, his story has been woven into Polish folklore; when
Simon the farmer brings his wares to market, little does he expect how he will be in-
volved in the events of that very special day, nor how his produce—of bread, eggs,
and wine—will become important symbols of Jesus’ passion and resurrection, re-
membered throughout the ages.

The Three Trees

A Traditional Folktale
Elena Pasquali
Illustrations by Sophie Windham
An American folktale that evokes the wonder of Jesus’ life with astonishing pro-
fundity and simplicity
A Children’s Book-of-the-Month Club selection
Three forest trees dream of what they will one day become. One dreams of becoming
a royal throne, one of being a ship that can withstand any storm, and one longs
to stay in the forest and grow as tall as tall can be. When they are felled, it seems
their dreams are over. But as each tree is crafted into a new item—a manger, a fish-
ing boat, and a rugged cross—it becomes clear that through the role they play in
one important life their hopes are more than fulfilled. This traditional folktale is
accompanied by stylish artwork and will help set the Christmas and Easter stories
into the overall context of the Christian faith.

BLUE BANANAS
Blue Bananas contain one single story and so offer children the chance to read a longer book and learn
to sustain their reading. There is some difficult vocabulary and the writers use a variety of complex sentences.
The books begin to explore feelings in greater depth and how these can motivate behavior and influence
events in stories. The speech bubbles in these books offer more than repeating dialogue within the text.

The Alchemist and the Angel
A Gothic Tale of Magic and Madness
Joanne Owen
Interspersed with notes, magical recipes, and a handful of tales from cen-
tral European folklore, this is an enthrallingly dark tale of mystery, magic,
and alchemy set in 16th-century Prague and Vienna
“The blend of terror, macabre theater, magic, lore, and fin de siècle set-
ting creates an unusual, captivating adventure that, like many old Czech
legends, celebrates strong women and their power to rescue entire
lands.” —Booklist on Puppet Master
Everything changes for orphaned Jan when his beloved uncle, Gustav—
anatomist, natural scientist, and aspiring alchemist—enlists his help in a quest
to create a life-generating serum. To test the serum, they must follow a set of
ancient instructions and play a dangerous game of bringing the inanimate to
life. When Gustav dies suddenly, it’s up to Jan to continue his work—little
does he know that his beautiful, calculating aunt dreams of using the serum
for her own purposes—eternal life. Under the façade of her grief, she convinces
Jan they must move from Vienna to Prague, and when she mysteriously dis-
appears, Jan searches for her. In the plague-ridden ghettos and in the court
of the mad Emperor Rudolf, he must pit his wits against an extraordinary cast
of characters and events. His only ally is Zuzana, a girl with secrets of her
own. Set against the vivid backdrop of 16th-century Prague and the equally
breathtaking Vienna, this magical, historical adventure is reminiscent of Mary
Shelley’s Frankenstein.
Joanne Owen is the author of Puppet Master, which was long-listed for a
Carnegie Medal.

something very sinister
“Great atmosphere, solid characters, a timeless sense of adventure. . . . The writing is

as crisp and frosty as the fens it describes, and every shred of imagery stands out al-
most hyper-realistically in the reader’s mind.” —Bookbag
“Gordon’s gift for conjuring menace from the simplest of scenes is undimmed, and
the shivery scenes will make teens quite glad to go back to school.” —Times
It’s wintertime in the moody, atmospheric mists of East Anglia, and while diving into the
cold, murky water of a lake, Kit and Joe find an elaborate patten—a Fen word for ice
skate. Its return to the surface is not widely welcomed, and, as it emerges, the story of
how the skate became detached from its owner 50 years ago leads the boys deep into a
chilling mystery whose conclusion is yet to be played out. What could have been surging
up through the ice that day half a century past that so frightened young Tom Townley?
Why has Tom suffered constantly from nightmares and visions of beings who make no
noise, but so menacingly watch? Who are they watching now—and why?
John Gordon is the author of many novels, including The Giant Under the Snow. His tales
of horror and the supernatural are often set in the Fens, an environment he found mys-
terious and inspirational in his own adolescence, and contain elements of East
Anglian folklore.

The Runaway
Angela McAllister
In an atmospheric tale of the unexpected set in the 19th century, a runaway girl hides in
an abandoned house, the perfect place for secrets
“A spooky, atmospheric tale set in the earliest years of the 19th century, against a dis-
tant backdrop of fear of Napoleonic invasion.” —Independent
“A terrific evocation of country life as it might have been lived, full of enthusiasm for
time and place, and a wonderfully conjured summer’s heat which readers of 12 and
over will love.” —Telegraph
Megan, frightened and guilty, is running from everything she’s ever known. When she ar-
rives at what she believes to be a deserted mansion, she encounters the mysterious Mar-
guerite—blind and despised, with only two silent, watchful owls to function as her companions
and her eyes. Megan and Marguerite come to depend on one another. Theirs is a strange
relationship, and the deserted, almost derelict house they inhabit holds many secrets. But
always watching and waiting is Tom—biding his time, determined to bring this fragile world
crashing down. With richly drawn characters and a well-plotted story, this is a haunting
tale of loss and revenge, friendship, and the power of forgiveness.
Angela McAllister has written more than 30 children’s books, including Found You, Little
Wombat!; Leon and the Place Between; Santa’s Little Helper; and Take a Kiss to School.

MONSTRUM HOUSE
Z. Fraillon
Jasper McPhee has been expelled from schools countless times, so now the Monstrum House School for Troubled
Children is his last chance. It looks like a normal school; all the parents who send their kids there think it’s a normal
school. What everyone doesn’t realize is that Monstrum House is actually a place that trains kids to be monster
hunters. And these monsters aren’t cute and cuddly—they lurk under beds and in the school basement, scare kids, eat
kids, and some even morph children into stone. Jasper knows that it’s no use telling his parents that the school is
making him catch monsters—after being expelled from schools time and time again, who would believe him?
Z. Fraillon is a former elementary school teacher and magician, and is also the author
of When No-one’s Looking: At the Zoo and When No-one’s Looking: On the Farm.

Locked In
Meet Jasper McPhee—a troubled boy whose troubles just got a whole lot bigger, now
that he has a house full of monsters to contend with
“Readers 9+ will love these in-the-real-world monsters and the idea that adults, their
brains shrinking with age, are too small-minded to believe in the danger all around
them. It’s up to kids to save the day . . . This is the first book in what promises to be
both a fun and frightening series.” —Reading Stack
“This new series combines a remote boarding school, quirky kids and monsters that
go bump in the night for a fun adventure series for kids.” —Suite101
He knew that fairy tales weren’t real. The school was impressive, but there was something
mean about it too. As soon as they drove through the iron gates with the school emblem
above them, Jasper felt trapped. He shuddered.
Jasper McPhee is always getting into trouble, and that’s why he’s been sent to the Monstrum
House School for Troubled Children. But even Jasper has never been in trouble like this be-
fore. There’s something very strange about Monstrum House. For a start, all the children
have to stand barefoot in the snow everyday. There’s also the creepy feeling that the teach-
ers can read your thoughts. Oh, and the fact that the school is crawling with monsters. Can
Jasper learn to adapt to such bizarre surroundings before it’s too late?

Creeped Out
Jasper and his friends take on their biggest challenge yet—they have to find a monster
set loose in the Monstrum school . . . before it finds them!
Jasper opened the door and stepped inside the pitch-black room, flinching slightly as the
door swung shut behind him. He knew what was waiting for him in the dark. It took all
his willpower not to run straight out of the room again.
Jasper’s creepy teacher Stenka has given him the worst challenge ever. He and his friends
have to catch a terrifying monster that’s been set loose on school grounds—or answer to
her if they fail. Well, either that, or perhaps they’ll be eaten by the monster. With the teach-
ers at Monstrum, it’s hard to know which is worse. And you thought your school was bad!

Sucked Under
Jasper might be in over his head once again as he’s given two equally horrifying op-
tions—fail all his classes and face his teacher’s punishment, or pass and have to face a
terrifying lake monster instead!
Jasper McPhee pulled himself over the top of the icy wall. He landed lightly on his bare
feet and rolled across the snowy ground, just dodging the swinging blades that whooshed
from the tree tops. That was close, he thought. He shot a quick look at his watch. He had
two minutes left to finish the combat course. He might just make it.
It’s exam time at Monstrum House, and the top students in Jasper’s year will be rewarded.
They’ll get to hunt a monster that lives at the bottom of the lake and likes to drown peo-
ple for fun—so, maybe it’s just as well that Jasper hasn’t studied. Life’s never easy when
you’re a student at the Monstrum House.

Taken Over
Book four of the Monstrum House series shows Jasper having to face his most fright-
ening challenge ever—a plethora of monster eggs, all trying to eat his face!
It was a stupid thing to do. A very, very stupid thing to do. Jasper McPhee wished he had-
n’t done it. He wished he hadn’t even thought about doing it. But he had. The stupid thought
had scuttled into his head, and before he had a chance to shoo it back out, he had done it.
And now he was in serious trouble.
Jasper has not had a good start to the year—the prefects are out to get him, he hasn’t done
his homework, and a bunch of vicious monsters are laying their eggs all over his school.
Jasper and his friends need to stop the monsters’ eggs from hatching before it’s too late
and they take over, but hunting these monsters is more dangerous than Jasper realizes. The
hatchlings need to eat something, and it could be him!

Arthur has been crowned King and peace and happiness have broken out all

pily ever after—so why are so many people planning rebellion? On one hand,
the Dragons are planning an uprising. On the other hand, King Arthur’s re-
volting little cousin Mordred is planning an uprising. And on the other, other
hand, Brassica, the deposed fake King Arthur, is also planning an uprising.
It’s lucky that Merlin, who has more than two hands, has everything under
control—or does he?

The Vampire Hunters
Pete Johnson
More reluctant bloodsucking hilarity in the sequel to The Vampire Blog
“[Johnson’s books are] highly accessible and always au fait with current tween preoc-
cupations . . . But best of all, they are funny. It’s the dialogue that really sparkles. . . .
The Vampire Blog builds some real tension with the threat to Marcus, and there are
some creepy scenes in the woods and some gruesome scenes with a goodly dollop of
fangly terror. Perfect.” —Bookbag on The Vampire Blog
On Marcus’s 13 birthday his life changed for ever. That’s when his parents told him the shock-
ing truth: he’s a half-vampire. Any notions that this could be cool went quickly out the win-
dow—he’s been attacked by an evil vampire bat, had huge cravings for his best friend’s blood,
and nearly died from eating a pizza (half-vampires aren’t great with garlic). Writing his se-
cret blog is the only thing that’s kept him from going completely crazy. As if life couldn’t
get any more complicated, there have been some vicious attacks in the local woods. Vam-
pire-mad Tallulah (definitely not Marcus’s girlfriend) thinks a super vampire is behind them—
and she’s desperate to prove it—with a mysterious chain that’s supposed to glow red hot
when a vampire is close by. Marcus has a horrible feeling the chain’s going to turn red-hot
any day now.

Bansi O’Hara returns in a fast-paced, funny, and frightening adventure. She could be ex-
cused for wanting a quiet life after her series of pulse-racing events, when an ancient prophecy

into Tir na n’Og she must go—this time to rescue her mother, who is being held captive

THE LAWS OF MAGIC
Michael Pryor
“Michael Pryor is the king of steampunk for teens.” —Visual Bookshelf

"Reminiscent at times of Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, and even P. G. Wodehouse, this is a fun read for all ages."
—Booklist on Heart of Gold
Aubrey Fitzwilliam is the son of a prominent ex-politician. He’s also brilliant at magic, but he’s stuck at military school.
At least he has his best friend, George, there to back him up. George would follow Aubrey anywhere—and with Aubrey’s
talent for thinking up impulsive and daring schemes that will get them both in trouble, that’s no easy thing to do.
Michael Pryor is the author of The Chronicles of Krangor series and the Laws of Magic series. He has been short-
listed six times for the Aurealis Award, including for his books Blaze of Glory and Heart of Gold.
Hour of Need
In the earth-shattering final book of the Laws of Magic series, Aubrey goes deep into
the lair of his enemy in an attempt to save the world
Aubrey Fitzwilliam, renegade and traitor. Instead of clearing his name in Albion, Aubrey
has chosen to pursue his enemy, Dr. Mordecai Tremaine, deep into the heart of enemy ter-
ritory. What he uncovers in Dr. Tremaine’s stronghold promises to change the course of
the war and the future of humanity itself. A hideous combination of electrical science,
golem manufacturing, and soul-shattering magic is bringing the world far closer to the
edge of the abyss than anyone apart from Aubrey realizes. Alone, reviled, and hunted,
this is Aubrey’s last chance to save the world—for if he doesn’t there might not be a world
left to save.

She’s with the Band
Georgia Clark
For Mia Mannix, life has never been this tough, or this interesting
“Life never starts when you think it will. When I turned 15, I figured I’d be tossed the keys to
the city, make out with a hottie, and have a modest parade thrown in my honour. But all that
happened was that I got out of doing the washing up. The day we moved to Sydney was sup-
posed to be the start of the new Mia Mannix—confident, charming, taller. But so far, it sucked.”
Mia Mannix has made a deal: in return for moving from the social backwater of the Snowy
Mountains to life in the fast lane in Sydney, she’s promised her dad she’d give up music and
concentrate on real art. But that was before she discovered new friends, a cool record store,
and a ridiculously hot rock star. This story is for every girl who has ever wanted to start a
band, had a crush on the wrong boy, or made a promise she couldn’t keep.
Georgia Clark is the former editor of a music magazine, a director, and a television producer.

The (Not Quite) Perfect Boyfriend
Lili Wilkinson
What happens when your imaginary boyfriend turns out to be real?
“Refreshing.” —Booklist on Pink

“I did meet a Boy,” Midge snaps. “He has wavy brown hair, and he’s English. I met him at
the Library. We had romantic picnics by the river and we kissed. A lot.’”
Midge has never had a boyfriend—so she makes one up. Then she is paired for a major proj-
ect with George, the new boy, who doodles dragons, tucks in his shirt, has a mysterious past,
and an unseemly interest in secrets. Soon Midge’s white lie turns into a web of deceit as she
fabricates e-mails from her imaginary boyfriend, and even a MySpace page. Then one day,
Midge comes face-to-face with her imaginary boyfriend in the school corridor. Tall, brown
wavy hair, English accent—he’s exactly as she’d described him, right down to his name. Ben
catches on quickly and rescues her from certain humiliation, by kissing her in front of all her
friends. He seems to be a dream come true—the perfect boyfriend! But he turns out to be not
quite perfect after all, and before long Midge finds herself in all sorts of trouble.
Lili Wilkinson works at a center for youth literature and is the author of Pink.

As a boy, Andrew was touched by the other world when the ghost of a dead murderer sought

armor, where he rides his horse into war in a riot of color and noise. But dead men keep
secrets, and much of the future has been kept from him. Andrew may find the glory of the

gled in Templar politics and wander in the desert haunted by jinn and demons—what is cer-
tain is that he will face tests of blade and spirit, and his dreams will be measured in blood
before he sees home again.

How to Talk to Boys
Dianne Todaro
From knowing how boys think to keeping your cool when talking to the one boy
who makes your heart go zing
A clear and informative guide to help girls through obstacles like shyness and awk-
wardness, this book unpacks all the so-called girl–boy rules to teach girls what boys
actually talk about, how to be friends with them, and more. It discusses the benefits
of self-respect, the ins and outs of electronic communication, talking to one’s parents
about boys, what to do when you disagree with the boy you like, the signals of attraction,
and what love really is. With plenty of quotes from real girls on talking to boys, this
guide is full of straight talk that will make talking to boys less awkward, and even fun.
Dianne Todaro provides leadership to a team of educators who teach sexuality and
relationship education to 30,000 parents and children per year. She is the director of
her own company, Communicate Kids.

How to Talk to Girls

Jonathan Toussaint
Reading girls’ signals, surviving school dances, mending hurt feelings—everything
teenage boys need to know in order to talk to girls
Talking to girls is an exciting part of a boy’s life—exciting and potentially agonizing.
This book gives a realistic picture of the challenges and choices boys face when they’re
talking to girls, and deals with real scenarios that aren’t often covered in teen guides.
For example, the school dance survival guide not only covers asking her, but also cov-
ers when you don’t want to ask a girl, when you don’t want to go at all, whether or
not to dance, when your date won’t talk to you, and whether she is your girlfriend
after the dance. It also has a supportive chapter for same-sex attracted teens. Featur-
ing uncut individual comments from boys, this book will talk boys through develop-
ing girls as friends, and then looks at what is needed to further a friendship into a
relationship. It’s all about talking, listening, and asking the kinds of questions that
lead to healthy friendships and relationships.
Jonathan Toussaint has been facilitating groups for men and boys for more than 30
years, helping them address issues of gender, sexuality, and communication. He is a
counselor, educator, and the executive manager of a family center, where he directs a
sexuality education program.

The Complete Buddhism for Mothers
Sarah Napthali
A compendium of all three bestselling titles: Buddhism for Mothers,
Buddhism for Mothers of Young Children, and Buddhism for Mothers
of Schoolchildren
“A lovely book for anyone that wants to become more present in their
parenting.” —AmericanBuddhist.net on Buddhism for Mothers of
Young Children
“If you liked her first book, Buddhism for Mothers, you’ll adore this
one. It’ll give you a new perspective on parenting and may even help
you enjoy it more.” —Sunday Telegraph on Buddhism for Mothers of
Young Children
“An eminently practical book that gives frazzled mothers usable advice
and empathy . . . the approachable and authentic perspective of a rank-
and-file practitioner who lives the techniques and situations she writes
about.” —Publishers Weekly on Buddhism for Mothers
Always firmly grounded in the day-to-day reality of being a mother, this col-
lection brings together three valuable books, each offering personal and hon-
est advice based on Buddhist teachings as applied to the everyday challenges
of bringing up children. Together for the first time, these books have been
used by countless mothers to find the inspiration to be more patient, loving,
and attentive towards their children, other family members, other parents,
but most of all, themselves. In her clear and engaging way, Sarah Napthali
takes us on a journey through the challenges (and the pleasures!) of raising
children, using Buddhist teachings and principles to help her answer the eter-
nal questions of mothers everywhere: Who am I now? Where am I going?
And how can I do my best by my children and myself? Even if exploring Bud-
dhism at this busy stage of life is not where a reader thought she would be,
this collection can make a difference.
Sarah Napthali is a mother of two who tries to apply Buddhist teachings in
her daily life. She is the author of Buddhism for Mothers, Buddhism for Moth-
ers of Young Children (formerly published under the title of Buddhism for Moth-
ers with Lingering Questions), and Buddhism for Mothers of Schoolchildren.
