'Do you feel safe?' A powerful novel exploring how teenagers can be
swept up into county lines. For fans of PUNCHING THE AIR and
SPLINTERS OF SUNSHINE. Erik's mum is juggling the challenge of two
small babies, plus the recent death of her husband due to COVID-19.
Both these factors affect teenage Erik too, struggling with
homework as the babies continually cry or his mum needs help. When
the difficulties at home affect Erik's behaviour at school and he
gets in with the wrong crowd, Erik is tempted to earn some easy
money. . . But this kind of money is never truly easy to earn and
comes with a terrible cost. Written in verse, the
thoroughly-researched narrative exploring how teenage boys can be
drawn into county lines pulls the reader in from the very first
page, as Erik makes some good - and some very bad - decisions...
ONLY BLUE ALLOWED, by Blue government demand. Anything that isn't
blue, by colour law, is banned. In a very blue house on a very blue
street, sits a little boy who feels as blue as the world around
him. For this little boy has a BIG secret: he loves the colour
yellow. In a world where only one colour is allowed, will he be
brave enough to tell his dad? And will they be able to defy the
rules and create a world where EVERY colour is welcome? One boy and
his dad are about to come OUT OF THE BLUE and into life in
technicolour! A stunning celebration of being yourself and living
in ALL the colours of the rainbow, from debut author Robert
Tregoning and rising star illustrator Stef Murphy. Championing
difference, diversity and pride, this gloriously illustrated
picture book is perfect for fans of Perfectly Norman, Grandad's
Camper and Julian Is a Mermaid.

Scoliosis twists Deenie s plans for her social life in this classic
Judy Blume novel with a fresh new look.
Deenie s mother wants her to be a model, with her face on magazine
covers maybe even in the movies but Deenie wants to spend Saturdays
with her friends Janet and Midge, tracking Harvey Grabowsky, the
captain of the football team, around Woolworth s. She wants to be a
cheerleader, too, and go to the seventh-grade mixer to hear Buddy
Brader play his drums.
Instead, Deenie is diagnosed with scoliosis. And that means body
stockings to squeeze into, a roomful of strangers to face, and a
terrifying brace that she ll need to wear for years that goes from
her neck to her hips. Suddenly Deenie has to cope with a kind of
specialness that s frightening and might be hers forever.
