A humorous take on the unicorn trend, Unicorn NOT Wanted is
funny picture book starring an uninvited unicorn that hijacks the
story.​ "There are way too many unicorn stories, so this book
will be A UNICORN FREE ZONE! And it will be set where you
definitely won’t find unicorns... THE WILD WEST! This is an
anti-unicorn, unicorn story, which pokes fun at the never-ending
stream of unicorn books, but then becomes what it sets out
not to be... thanks to a unicorn intruder! AÂ unicorn arrives
in disguise as a horse on the first pages, but when her hat is
removed and her horn exposed, chaos ensues... It's really
silly, but has a positive message of not stereotyping people and
being yourself.

From the author of October, October, winner of the Yoto Carnegie
Medal, comes a heartbreaking and heart-warming story about
sisterhood, found family and accepting love in the most unusual and
unknown places. Fen and Rey were found curled up small and tight in
the fiery fur of the foxes at the very edge of the wildlands. Fen
is loud and fierce and free. She feels a connection to foxes and a
calling from the wild that she's desperate to return to. Rey is
quiet and shy and an expert on nature. She reads about the birds,
feeds the lands and nurtures the world around her. They are twin
sisters. Different and the same. Separate and connected. They will
always have each other, even if they don't have a mother and don't
know their beginning. But they do want answers. Answers to who
their mother is and where she might be. What their story is and how
it began. So when a fox appears late one night at the house, Fen
and Rey see it as a sign - it's here to lead them to their truth,
find their real family and fill the missing piece they have felt
since they were born. But the wildlands are exactly that: wild.
They are wicked and cruel and brutal and this journey will be
harder and more life changing than either Fen or Rey ever imagined
