Amy is starting a new school and she knows it's the perfect chance
for a fresh start. She's determined not to let anyone know about
her epilepsy, not even her new best friend. But what will happen
when her secret is revealed? Reflect is a series of emotionally
powerful fiction and non-fiction with realistic settings, carefully
crafted to promote thoughtful discussions and develop higher-level
reading comprehension. Written by top authors and developed with
Literacy expert Nikki Gamble, these are books you can trust to
engage, entertain and support children's personal development and
wellbeing. The books are finely levelled, making it easy to match
every child to books with the right depth and complexity, and
helping them to progress. Each book contains inside cover notes to
help children deepen their understanding and support their reading
comprehension. Teaching notes on Oxford Owl offer cross-curricular
links to Relationships Education and support literacy skills.
Perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli, this book
will rip your heart out before showing you how to heal and
celebrate life in the process. Everything happens for a reason. At
least that's what everyone keeps telling Liam Cooper after his
older brother Ethan is killed in a hit-and-run. Feeling more alone
and isolated than ever, Liam has to not only learn to face the
world without one of the people he loved the most, but also face
the fading relationships of his two best friends in the process.
Soon, Liam finds themself spending time with Ethan's best friend,
Marcus, who might just be the only person that seems to know
exactly what they're going through-for better and for worse. The
Ghosts We Keep is an achingly honest portrayal of grief. But it is
also about why we live. Why we have to keep moving on, and why we
should.
Sometimes your face doesn't show how you are feeling. Pablo wants
to go to his cousin Lorna's house, but his mum sees the expression
on his face and thinks that he doesn't want to go! Pablo is
autistic and he sees the world in a different way. Together with
his friends, the Book Animals, he comes up with a way to let people
know what he is thinking!

A wonderful child-led book that celebrates Deaf culture and
introduces readers to British Sign Language Marvellously positive
and encouraging throughout, this would be a useful addition to any
primary school or public library, as well as being useful to help
any child understand a little more about their deaf peers. - The
Carousel Ava is like any other 7-year-old. She likes to talk and
laugh with her friends, is obsessed with dogs and loves being
active. Ava is also deaf - and she's proud of it. She loves her
deaf community, that she's bilingual, and that she experiences the
world differently from hearing people. In this book, Ava welcomes
her hearing peers to her daily life, the way technology helps her
navigate the world and explains common misconceptions about deaf
people - and introduces some of her deaf heroes who have achieved
amazing things. She talks about her experiences at school making
friends with hearing children, and teaches readers the BSL alphabet
and some BSL phrases. Featuring photos of Ava, her friends and
family throughout, plus illustrations of hand signs, this book
celebrates deafness rather than discussing 'overcoming challenges'
or 'stigma'. Perfect for readers aged 5 and upwards.

adventure! Ermitage Wrigglesworth, the notable explorer and author,
has been reported missing in Stella Oceanus to the east. Twins
Arthur and Maudie are eager to answer the call of adventure to find

sail aboard their sky-ships, it soon becomes clear that Eudora's
not just after the missing explorer. There's a secret she's
chasing, something Wrigglesworth had discovered before he vanished,

Aurora's crew will have to journey to uncover Wrigglesworth's
secret first, and will discover new lands and new friends along the
way. . . . Return to Vashti Hardy's "marvelously imagined" world
(Publishers Weekly) in this sweeping and propulsive follow up to
Brightstorm, hailed by the Bulletin of the Center for Children's
Books as "a novel of grandeur and action."
