Equipped with a crucial clue discovered by June on her Wild Flight, the group does the once-unthinkable: they leave Wakefield behind and embark on an . . . EPIC ROAD TRIP!

A captivating, powerful and luminous story from a bestselling,
award-winning author about a mother, a daughter and the great
Greenland shark. Wrapped up in mesmerising illustrations and
presented as a deluxe hardback, this is a perfect gift for the
holiday season, for 9+ fans of Philip Pullman, Sally Gardner and
Frances Hardinge. The shark was beneath my bed, growing large as
the room, large as the lighthouse, rising from unfathomable depths
until it ripped the whole island from its roots. The bed was a
boat, the shark a tide, and it pulled me so far out to sea I was
only a speck, a spot, a mote, a dying star in an unending sky...
Julia has followed her mum and dad to live on a remote island for
the summer - her dad, for work; her mother, on a determined mission
to find the elusive Greenland shark. But when her mother's
obsession threatens to submerge them all, Julia finds herself on an
adventure with dark depths and a lighthouse full of hope... A
beautiful, lyrical, uplifting story about a mother, a daughter, and
love - with timely themes of the importance of science and the
environment.

When Adri is offered an all-expenses-paid trip to the exclusive
Solstice Festival, it feels like the graduation gift of a lifetime!
But when she arrives, she quickly realises it's not
Instagram-ready. There's no water, no food, and no security in
sight - which means there's no one to help when a dead body is
found on the beach. With connections to the festival planners, Adri
gets a front-row seat as everything devolves into chaos - and she's
in a prime position to put together the clues to who - or what - is
killing off the crowd one by one.
Join Sarah and Mr Pottifer in their magical plant shop, where
fantastical creatures grow from trees! A story that celebrates
problem solving, kindness and resourcefulness. An unexpected
delivery of dragodil seeds provides the perfect chance for Sarah
and Mr Pottifer to grow helpful dragon pets for their customers -
or does it? It turns out that these fiery dragons are not very
well-behaved at all... and everything soon spirals into
smoke-filled, out-of-control DRAGON CHAOS! Can Sarah's quick
thinking and green fingers save the day? The second magical
adventure from the author and illustrator of the bestselling How to
Grow a Unicorn.
A masterpiece of storytelling with evocative and stunning
illustrations, destined to be read for years to come.

alone, and digging for dinosaur bones to build a special sort of
companion. Then, one night, she goes to sleep wishing with all her
heart that her dinosaur might come to life . . .
A very rare and special book where the words and pictures take you on a
