Who needs colour? Not Mr White! This charming book describes how Mr White discovers something extraordinary in his ordinary and black and white world. He decides to add colour everywhere but realises it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Yiting Lee's simple tale about an ordinary man in an ordinary world carries a strong message about existence, the desire to try something new and what true happiness means. Mr White is the first of Yiting's books being published by Hogs Back Books. Yiting studied Children's book illustration at Cambridge School of Art. She uses loosely drawn lines to illustrate scenes and then adds bright colours to bring them to life and this approach inspired the story for Mr White.

Princess Paris has a busy day filled with royal duties. But when her crown is stolen, she fears she can’t represent her king on her mission. As she meets leopards, an elephant, and a buffalo, Paris realizes that each animal has a unique problem. But will Paris be able to help them? And will she get her crown back in time to meet the king? Tag along on this African safari with Paris, Kobe, and Chunk (the whole Tebow Pack!) and learn that helping others is the greatest purpose of all.

In the beginning before time began, the world was alive with possibilities. Animals were people, people could command the wind and the rain, and the sun had the power of speech. Many languages were spoken and stories, carried by the breath of those who spoke them, floated on the wind. But then things changed and the world lost its magic. This book tells a story of wonder and loss and the possibility of redemption.

Thanks to many generations of careless magicians, the city of Helm is overflowing with magic, which has made it a very dangerous place to live. Leave anything alone for too long and it will transform into something else: your house will turn to gingerbread, your teapot will start pouring pond water or – if you're really unlucky – your floor will turn to lava.

The magicians liked to pretend it’s them who keep the worst magical hiccups in check, but the real heroes of the whole sorry situation are of a wholly different occupation: equally well known but decidedly less respected.

The heroes of the city of Helm are the cleaners.

Ward, an ambitious twelve-year-old cleaner, wants nothing more than to belong to the League of Cleaners, who will grant him the prestige and popularity he's been looking for all his life – if only he can pass three near-impossible tests. Struggling toward this goal with a team he doesn't trust, Ward's world is upended when his friend disappears and mysterious magic-eating monsters appear all over the city and start tearing holes in the fabric of reality. Suddenly his ambitions are the least of his problems…

Hugely funny and exciting, and with an incredibly imaginative, original story, The Spick and the Span is the unmissable fantasy middle grade debut of 2025 – you'll never look at magic the same way again…

I’m so happy when we’re together.

You bring sunshine into my life.

Even when I'm feeling small,

You make me feel ten foot tall.
