'Your kids need this lovely book' Kate Beckinsale Four stories in
one! I have a twin brother. Everyone calls him Jimmy, which is sort
of the English version of Dimitri, his actual Greek name. Our mum's
Greek, you see. I'm Cally, short for Calista, which means, I don't
want to sound big-headed or anything, 'most beautiful'. I'm not
sure about Dimitri, but if Dimitri means
most-annoying-brother-in-the-whole-wide-world, then that's him.
Join Cally and Jimmy in four hilarious stories, perfect for newly
confident readers. They get into scrapes together, bake some
poisonous cakes, almost ruin their school assembly and finally have
a twintastic birthday party.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Jacqueline Woodson's first
middle-grade novel since National Book Award winner Brown Girl
Dreaming celebrates the healing that can occur when a group of
students share their stories. It all starts when six kids have to
meet for a weekly chat--by themselves, with no adults to listen in.
There, in the room they soon dub the ARTT Room (short for "A Room
to Talk"), they discover it's safe to talk about what's bothering
them--everything from Esteban's father's deportation and Haley's
father's incarceration to Amari's fears of racial profiling and
Ashton's adjustment to his changing family fortunes. When the six
are together, they can express the feelings and fears they have to
hide from the rest of the world. And together, they can grow braver
and more ready for the rest of their lives.
From TV comedian Rosie Jones comes a sparky and HILARIOUS series
for readers aged 9+. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and DORK
DIARIES. 'Fresh, funny and ultra cool' - Jacqueline Wilson Hi! I'm
Edie Eckhart. I'm a little bit different. I have a disability
called cerebral palsy, so I talk slowly and fall over a lot. It's
never really bothered me because I've never known anything else.
This term, Edie Eckhart has A LOT on her mind: 'Why am I the only
one who doesn't know what to be when I grow up? Why am I the only
one worried about going on the school drama trip? And why am I the
only one who thinks eating 21 Brussels sprouts at once is YUMMY?'
Life's confusing questions are making Edie wonder if she REALLY
knows who she REALLY is. Will Edie realise it's OK not to have ALL
the answers ALL of the time ... and just BE EDIE?

A KIND OF SPARK tells the story of 11-year-old Addie as she
campaigns for a memorial in memory of the witch trials that took
place in her Scottish hometown. Addie knows there's more to the
story of these 'witches', just like there is more to hers. Can
Addie challenge how the people in her town see her, and her autism,
and make her voice heard? A story about friendship, courage and
self-belief, perfect for fans of The Goldfish Boy. "Definitive and
funny" Susin Nielsen "A fabulous, brilliant debut" Lisa Thompson
Written by Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo, and
illustrated by Karen George, Freddie and the Fairy is a
delightfully witty, rhyming tale. Freddie wants nothing more than a
pet, so when the fairy Bessie-Belle offers to grant his wishes, he
knows just what to ask for. But Bessie-Belle can't hear very well
and Freddie tends to mumble, which means the wishes aren't turning
out as planned! Whatever can they do? Luckily the Fairy Queen is on
hand to help.
Being a teen or tween is tough for anyone. And if you're on the
Autism Spectrum, life can feel like a game you're playing without
knowing the rules. Jennifer Cook knows - she's been there! Her
internationally bestselling handbook is the key to unlocking those
unwritten, often confusing, not-so-obvious social guidelines and
bolstering confidence, all at once. Finally, teens can play the
game of life with instructions. The 10th Anniversary Edition of The
(Secret) Book of Social Rules reveals the essential secrets behind
the baffling social codes surrounding making and keeping friends,
dating, and catastrophic conversation pitfalls, with all-new
content on social media and talking about neurodiversity. It's no
wonder Jennifer's is the navigation tool tens of thousands of fans
have come to love! Full of brand-new funny illustrations,
take-it-from-me explanations, and comic strip examples, this Book
of the Year award winner is real, positive, and speaks from the
heart (without ever sounding like your mother's guide to manners).
It's confidence, humor, and smarts. For the Human Spectrum.
