joyous, rhyming caper that reminds us to celebrate our own unique
talents! On the tip of the top of a mountain all snowy, where the
ice-swirling, toe-curling blizzards were blowy, in a herd full of
huddling yaks, big and small, lived Gertie . . .the littlest yak of
them all. Gertie is the littlest yak in her whole herd, and she's
feeling stuck in her smallness - she wants to grow UP and have
bigness and tallness! But when it turns out that there are some
things that only Gertie can do, might she come to see that she's
perfect, just the way she is? A rollicking, heartwarming and
reassuring story from debut author, Lu Fraser and much-loved
illustrator, Kate Hindley.
The brilliant new heart-warming story from Luke Scriven, author and illustrator of The Little Fear.
All Georgie wants to do is play with his big brother, who ALWAYS comes up with the best games and adventures! But recently, all Georgie hears is the same phrase, time and again – ‘Maybe later, Georgie’. Will later ever arrive?

A flamboyantly fun tropical tale of love, fame, friendship from the
creators of the international bestseller The Lion Inside. Goldy
wants one thing, and one thing only - to be a STAR. On the sunny
island this gecko calls home, it's always THE GOLDY SHOW, morning
'til night. But when you're dazzled by the limelight, it's easy to
lose sight of the world around you. And when Goldy's performance
starts to go wrong, the little gecko discovers that friendship
means so much more than fame. Because when you treat the world with
love, then love will come echoing back. This funny and touching
rhyming story is perfect for sharing, reminding us all that
treating others with kindness makes the whole world a better and
happier place.

"Special Circumstances" - These words have sent chills down Tally's
spine since her days as a rebellious Ugly. Back then Specials were a
sinister rumour - frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong,
breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives
without meeting a Special. But Tally's never been ordinary… Now she's
been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered
to keep the Uglies down and the Pretties stupid.
The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel
better than anything Tally can remember… most of the time. One tiny
corner of her heart still remembers something more. Still, it's easy to
tune that out - until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels
of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice:
carry out the mission she's programmed to complete, or listen to that
tiny, faint heartbeat telling her that something's wrong… Either way,
Tally's world will never be the same.
Even the darkest secrets will come to light. Bubbly social media
star Hannah Monksman is captaining Seiiki and carrying
the last of Earth's whales to a new paradise planet. Viewers have
been following Hannah's journey, but what they don't know is her
true identity—Kim Teng who won her role as Caretaker with the
help of underground operatives known as the Crusaders. Kim forms a
close bond with the whales in her care, and their mental Link
allows conversation on the lonely spaceship. But when one of the
whales, Adonai, begins acting strange, Kim begins to suspect that
she is a pawn in a secret mission meant to ensure the whales never
reach their destination. Or it may just be the isolation getting to
her.
An out-of-this-world new adventure from bestselling author of THE

determined to blow their friends away at their school Battle of the
Bands contest. But the moment they start to play... They're beamed
up into space!!! Now the kids face an even bigger challenge: Battle
of the Bands, but the intergalactic version. They're competing
against alien bands from every galaxy! And if they don't win, they
might never make it home again... Can the worst band on Earth

intergalactically awesome SPACE BAND soundtrack now, performed by
