From the acclaimed author of Afterlove comes a sapphic love story
about the call of the sea, and the power of home. New Year's Day: A
girl is brought to shore by fisherman - wild dark eyes, dark curls
made darker and wilder by skin so pale she looks like an unfinished
canvas. She knows she is called Nico, but other than that, she has
no memory of why she was in the sea, or what came before. Reunited
with her ex-girlfriend Mara, the pair try to uncover the mystery of
what happened to lead to the accident. But there could be a reason
Nico has locked everything behind a door. One day, she's going to
be brave enough to open it, and what will happen to her then? What
will happen to them? A beautiful YA mystery about two girls finding
out the truth about the past... and the start of a brand new story
together... 'I want everyone to read Ash and Poppy's love story.'
Holly Bourne on Afterlove 'A book to make you feel and think' Terri

Discover the extraordinary ways nature has come back from the brink
in this collection of 20 environmental success stories from around
the world, written by Dr Helen Scales and beautifully illustrated
by Good Wives and Warriors. From humpback whale populations
thriving again in the freezing seas of Alaska and the recovery of
kiwi populations in New Zealand, to the setting up of tiger
sanctuaries and reserves in India and return of elephant seals from
'extinction', this book plants a message of hope and shows children
that positive change is possible. As well as the 20 recovery
stories, Return of the Wild teaches children about the different
habitats that animals and plants around the world call home -
oceans, forests, deserts and more - and introduces them to the real
people supporting endangered species. Finishing off with small tips
on what children at home can do to help the wild world, from
wearing eco-friendly suncream while swimming in the sea to using
less single use plastic, this book reassures children that there
are many ways to protect and save our planet from environmental
harm.
