Movie tie-in edition of the No. 1 New York Times bestseller and Waterstones Children's Book Prize winner, now a major motion picture from Twentieth Century Fox, starring Amandla Stenberg.
Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy balance between them is shattered when Starr is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community. It could also get her killed.
Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a powerful and gripping novel about one girl's struggle for justice.

A warm, feel-good story for 9+ about taking a leap of faith when life feels wobbly. Perfect for fans of Cathy Cassidy.
Jelly, aged 11, is the life and soul of the classroom. She's popular and great at doing impressions. She's also overweight. She's learned to deal with the put-downs by brushing them off and pretending she finds it all very funny - while making up poems and writing her private worries in a notebook.
Then Lennon arrives, Mum's new boyfriend. He's nice. He treats her mum well, buys her flowers, doesn't let her down. He's the first person to have noticed that Jelly is playing a part. He reads her poems and tells her they're really good. In fact, he'd like to set one to music.
When a talent show is announced at school, Lennon persuades Jelly sing her poem in the contest. But can Jelly find the courage to perform something so personal - especially when Lennon might not always be there to cheer her on?

A teenage girl stumbles out of an alley in Ottawa, concussed, with
no memory of her life. Fleeing sword-wielding operatives with
inexplicable mental abilities, she soon learns that her name is
Zoe, and that she not only possesses the same abilities, but is
extraordinarily skilled in martial arts. As she scours Toronto for
clues about her identity, she finds others like her, and is given
refuge at the Academy, an international school for Telepaths. As
fragments of her childhood return, she begins to suspect that she
may not like who she once was-that she may be part of a shadowy
organization more powerful than anyone suspects, and that she will
soon be swept up in events that are thousands of years in the
making.
