Welcome to the Have A Great Spray waterpark! There's slides, rides
and fried ice cream, but that's not the real attraction . . . Meet
Flamingo, Cactus, Donut and Watermelon - four inflatable pool
floats who live in an almost-forgotten pool next to the
Lost-and-Found office. They may have been left behind by their
original owners, but that hasn't stopped them becoming firm (well
actually quite squashy) friends. And of course there's Lynn too,
the traditional blue Lilo who has been floating around since the
park opened. She's been there, done that and got the puncture. But
things don't always go to plan when you're filled with air and live
in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the
ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats,
everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a
fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed
to BLOW UP! Featuring TWO stories: Bad Air Day and Mission
Un-poppable. A funny, sunny, splash-tastic new series for readers
6+, featuring a gang of loveable pool floats! Perfect for fans of
The Bad Guys, Bad Kitty, Spongebob and Toy Story. "A pun-tastic,
abundantly silly graphic novel for 6+." The Guardian

in space causes one of them to quit! When chief science officer Pom
Pom rejoins the CatStronauts on the International Space Station,
she has to get to work right away--the Hubba Bubba Telescope isn't
working, and CATSUP is losing funding by the day! But as the
CatStronauts and Mission Control race to find answers, the
unthinkable happens and pilot Waffles is forced to orbit the Earth
in nothing but his space suit while the rest of the team comes up
with a rescue plan. Even though he's no scaredy cat, Waffles is
going to have a hard time staying out in space. When disaster on a
global scale rears its head, will a fractured CatStronauts team be
enough to save the day? In this graphic novel, debut
author/illustrator Drew Brockington takes the CatStronauts to the
brink, adding in mounds of jokes, charm, asteroid showers, and
enough tuna for everyone!
The dramatic and hotly anticipated conclusion to Alexis Deacon's
original Geis trilogy, featuring new branding and a format designed
to sit alongside Curse of the Chosen Volume 1. As the great chief
matriarch lay dying, she gave one final decree: Upon her death
there would be a contest. Having no heir of her own blood she
called on the Gods. Let fate decide the one truly worthy to rule in
her place. The rich, the strong, the wise, the powerful; many put
forward their names in hope of being chosen. But when the night
came... only fifty souls alone were chosen. As Io's quest reaches
its deadly and dramatic conclusion, things are not all as they seem
in the sorceress' game for the right to rule. Still trapped inside
the torturous nightmares within the castle, who will remain in the
battle for the throne, and which of the chosen will be lost along
the way? Or will they fail in their attempts to escape the horrors
within? Alexis Deacon draws his Geis trilogy to an epic and emotive
conclusion in this newly branded volume, packed to the rafters with
his beautiful artwork and gripping storytelling.
