"Samantha awoke with the sun shining in her face. She yawned, stretching her arms above her head. She started to run her fingers through her hair, but was unable. Her fingers became tangled in short, tight curls. Samantha gasped and sat straight up."

What in the world . "Her heart pounded with fear." What happened to my beautiful hair?

"Her eyes flew open. She stared at the new surroundings. Pink wallpaper with little white roses covered the walls. A frilly, white-lace curtain hung on the enormous bay window. The room was filled with heavy, wooden antique furniture. Expensive porcelain dolls were neatly placed on the oak shelves covering one wall."

""Where am I?" uttered Samantha."

"She got out of bed and looked around the room." Where am I? "She turned her head toward a full-length mirror and gasped at the reflection. It was a stranger that stared back at her. The figure in the mirror was a very fat girl with pale green eyes, short, curly red hair, fair skin, and a face covered with freckles. Her eyes grew wide with recognition." Virginia Morris! What's going on here? Why am I seeing Virginia and not myself?

Andy is a picky anteater. He loves markers (but only red markers), toys (but only trucks) and music (but only his favourite song). He loves eating ants-in fact, they're the only thing he'll eat. Ants for breakfast, lunch and dinner; ants for every day of the week. Why bother with anything else? When he goes to his best friend Sam Sloth's house for a sleepover, Andy is faced with disaster. Sam's family isn't playing Andy's favourite song in the car. Sam has no trucks to play with-only spaceships. And most devastating of all, they're having termites for dinner. But as the night goes on, Andy learns that different doesn't necessarily mean bad. Jashar Awan's latest picture book is an accomplished and humorous celebration of curiosity and of embracing new experiences.

The third book in the award-winning Range Riders series Cassie sometimes pretended she owned the family’s ranch, that the cattle were hers to care for and the land was hers to watch. But one day Pa sits her down and tells her something shocking: the ranch is struggling financially, and if the cows and calves aren’t brought down safely from high summer pastures before the weather turns cold, the ranch will go under. Determined, Cassie and her best friend, Jasper, come up with a plan: they would secretly head for the mountains and bring the cattle down themselves. Trail riding, camping, and herding cows is nothing new for the seasoned ranch kids, but an early snowstorm, rustlers, and other dangers turn the weekend into a fight for survival for kids and cattle alike. It will take all of their courage, cowboy skills, and some horseshoe-charm good luck to get everyone back home.

Ten-year-old Isla has moved from Edinburgh to the Orkney Islands with her parents, to start a new life after the death of Isla's beloved young brother. Isla's mother's family is from Orkney and her father's is from Africa, and she finds island life is very different to her former city home. Her discovery of the old Orcadian legend about the selkies, half human, half seal people, becomes the key to adjustment and acceptance. Many strands are woven into this deceptively simple story – loss and discovery, legend and reality, the pleasures and problems of settling into a new place, the need to make new friends, the coming to terms with sadness. Jane Ray's illustrations capture the beauty of the island landscape and integrate it perfectly with the atmosphere and rich texture of the storytelling.
