debut from a hugely exciting new talent. Perfect for 9+ readers and
fans of Elle McNicoll, Lisa Thompson and Onjali Rauf's The Boy at
the Back of the Class. My name's Archie Albright, and I know two
things for certain: 1. My mum and dad kind of hate each other, and
they're not doing a great job of pretending that they don't
anymore. 2. They're both keeping a secret from me, but I can't
figure out what. Things aren't going great for Archie Albright. His
dad's acting weird, his mum too, and all he wants is for everything
to go back to normal, to three months before when his parents were
happy and still lived together. When Archie sees a colourful,
crumpled flyer fall out of Dad's pocket, he thinks he may have
found the answer. Only problem? The answer might just lie at the
end of the rainbow, an adventure away. Together with his best
friends, Bell and Seb, Archie sets off on a heartwarming and
unforgettable journey to try and fix his family, even if he has to
break a few rules to do it... Praise for ME, MY DAD AND THE END OF

Kelvin has a photographic memory, he comes up with a genius

The Raven's Song alternates between the stories of Phoenix, who
lives in a near-future world impacted by climate change and a
devastating pandemic; and Shelby, one hundred years in the future
in a post-pandemic, post-pollution, post-city world where each
community is exactly three hundred and fifty people sustainably
subsisting on seven hundred hectares. The story of a world that is
beginning to fall apart, and a chance to see it all put back
together, The Raven's Song is a vision of hope for the future, seen
through the eyes of the young people who will fight for it.
Kuikentjie en Eendjie is beste maatjies. Op 'n dag wil hulle mammas

stowwerige strooi en Eendjie na klam hout. En dan kom die hael...
'n Pragstorie van aanvaarding van ander net soos hulle is. En
waarom dan nie?

From the bestselling and award-winning author of Felix Ever After
comes a heart-melting and joyful romance. Maybe it's too late to
tell them how I really feel. That I've had these feelings for
months, for years . . . Lark Winters wants to be a writer, and for
now that means posting anything and everything on their social
media accounts - just to build their platform. When former best
friend Kasim accidentally posts a thread on Lark's Twitter
declaring his love for a secret, unrequited crush, Lark's tweets
are suddenly the talk of the school. To protect Kasim, Lark decides
to take the fall, pretending they accidentally posted the thread in
reference to another classmate. It seems like a great idea: Lark
finally gets the courage to ask out their crush, Kasim keeps his
privacy and Lark's social media stats explode. But living a lie
takes a toll - as does the judgement of thousands of Internet
strangers. Lark tries their best to be perfect at all costs, but
nothing seems good enough for the anonymous hordes - or for Kasim,
who is growing closer to Lark, just like it used to be between them
. . . In the end, Lark must embrace their right to their messy
emotions and learn how to be in love. 'A hilarious and bold love
story for the ages.' Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You
