WARNING: DO NOT JUMP ON THIS BOOK!
Have you ever jumped on a book? Perhaps not. Most people would think it was a rather unusual thing to do.
Ten-year-old Mayowa has always thought that her Grandpa Edward, who dyes his beard emerald green and jumps on books in private, is rather unusual too. Until one day she jumps on a book for herself, and uncovers a huge family secret .
Mayowa can book jump.
By jumping on a book, she can harness the emotions inside it and channel them directly into other people. And when the opportunity to use her power to save the lives of countless refugees presents itself, Mayowa wants to jump in with both feet.
But Mayowa and her grandpa aren't the only book jumpers in existence. And not everybody wants to use this power for good .
The first title in a dazzlingly imaginative adventure trilogy about one girl's power to change the world through the magic of book-jumping. Brimming with heart, Mayowa and the Sea of Words is a modern classic in the making. Perfect for everyone who knows the true power of a good book .

My name is Felix. This is my story. Felix has been living in an
orphanage for three years and eight months when the men in armbands
arrive to burn the books. Going on the run in search of his
parents, Felix soon learns that Poland in 1942 is not a safe place
for Jewish boys. But can his gift for storytelling keep him one
step ahead of the Nazis and help him find his parents? After all,
everybody deserves to have something good in their life at least
once. 'Morris Gleitzman has a rare gift for writing very funny
stories and an even rarer gift of wrapping very serious stories
inside them' - Guardian Once is the first in a series of novels
about Felix and his family. The sequels - Then, After, Soon, Maybe
and Now - are also available from Puffin.
From the creators of the critically acclaimed The Night Gardener
and Ocean Meets Sky comes a whimsical and elegantly illustrated
picture book about community, art, the importance of giving back -
and the wonder that fell from the sky. THE GUARDIAN "[...] gorgeous
illustration [...] intricate monochrome [...] acid-bright touches
of colour [...] will prompt lively discussion." It fell from the
sky on a Thursday. None of the insects know where it came from, or
what it is. Some say it's an egg. Others, a gumdrop. But whatever
it is, it fell near Spider's house, so he's convinced it belongs to
him. Spider builds a wonderous display so that insects from far and
wide can come to look at the marvel. Spider has their best
interests at heart. So what if he has to charge a small fee? So
what if the lines are long? But as Spider raises the prices,
insects stop showing up, much to Spider's bemusement. And then, all
of a sudden, an unexpected disaster hits and the marvel disappears!
This charming story is accompanied by characterful illustrations,
and also teaches children important life lessons about greed and
the importance of sharing.

“Amari is magical!”
― Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THE HATE U GIVE

Meanwhile, Dylan Van Helsing, the newly crowned leader of the League of Magicians―and Amari’s former partner―is after a destructive new power that would not only ensure the magicians’ victory . . . it would make him invincible.
With neither the Bureau nor the League safe for Amari, and her newly returned brother, Quinton, determined to keep her out of the fray, she and her friends decide to find a way to end the war on their own.
So when they learn that the only way to stop Dylan is to find powerful magical inventions known as Wonders, they go after them. But wielding these items comes at a terrible cost, and Amari will have to decide just how much she’s willing to sacrifice . . . because the Despicable Wonders will demand everything.
