'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.
From Carnegie winning author, a coming-of-age novel about
friendship and loyalty across neighbourhood lines - illustrated by
award-winner, Akhran Girmay. A lot of the stuff that gives my
neighbourhood a bad name, I don't really mess with. The guns and
drugs and all that, not really my thing. Nah, not his thing. Ali's
got enough going on, between school and boxing and helping out at
home. His best friend Noodles, though. Now there's a dude looking
for trouble - and, somehow, it's always Ali around to pick up the
pieces. But, hey, a guy's gotta look out for his boys, right?
Besides, it's all small potatoes; it's not like anyone's getting
hurt. And then there's Needles. Needles is Noodles's brother. He's
got a syndrome, and gets these ticks and blurts out the wildest,
craziest things. It's cool, though: everyone on their street knows
he doesn't mean anything by it. Yeah, it's cool . . . until Ali and
Noodles and Needles find themselves somewhere they never expected
to be . . . somewhere they never should've been - where the people
aren't so friendly, and even less forgiving. 'A funny and rewarding
read.' Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review 'Fiction with heart . . .
unexpectedly gorgeous.' Booklist 'Moving and thought-provoking . .
. defies readers' expectations.' Kirkus

path that takes her to a magical place amongst the stars! This Book

The first book in a funny, heartfelt, and irresistible young middle grade series starring an unforgettable young boy on the autism spectrum, from acclaimed author Elana K. Arnold and with illustrations by Charles Santoso.
For Bixby Alexander Tam (nicknamed Bat), life tends to be full of surprises—some of them good, some not so good. Today, though, is a good-surprise day. Bat’s mom, a veterinarian, has brought home a baby skunk, which she needs to take care of until she can hand him over to a wild-animal shelter.
But the minute Bat meets the kit, he knows they belong together. And he’s got one month to show his mom that a baby skunk might just make a pretty terrific pet.
Morris Gleitzman's classic stories Blabber Mouth and Sticky Beak
are now together in one volume, with with a fantastically hilarious
cover look from Sarah Horne! Rowena Batts is always in trouble. It
probably has something to do with her quick temper - stuffing a
frog into bully-boy Darryn Peck's mouth wasn't the best idea in the
world. Neither was stealing his crazy cockatoo . . . But Rowena has
a bigger problem. Her dad. Somehow she has to tell him that his
revolting shirts and his horrific habit of bursting into song in
public are even more disastrous than she is. And it's not easy
talking your way out of trouble when you were born unable to speak.
Rowena and her dad rock from one batty but bittersweet scenario to
the next, across two stories in one book!
