Hilarious, pitch-perfect stories where everyday school life becomes
completely extraordinary! By a brilliant author/illustrator team
with laughs on every page! Izzy's school is being merged with St
Bartholomew's Primary, their greatest rivals! What will happen when
the new kids join, in their too-shiny shoes and with their too-loud
singing? And what if they've got a secret mission and that mission
is a BAD mission? Only Izzy and her friends can discover the truth,
even if they must go SO DEEP UNDERCOVER that they might not come
back...
Today we brainstormed strategies to #GETAMBERBACK. Our top ideas are:
- Send her flowers
- Hypnotise her
- Kidnap her
- Tell everyone she smells like lasagne
- Emotionally blackmail her by making a BFF photo montage
Just when Lottie thought life might be going back to normal, everything
goes wrong again! Amber’s hanging out with the Ultra Mean Girl Gang at
school and is completely ignoring the Queens of Eight Green. Mum’s gone
back to work and expects Lottie to ‘help around the house more’, Bella
keeps biting everyone and Pot Noodle will not stop sniffing every dog’s
bum. DISASTER!
Now Lottie has to come up with a foolproof plan to get Amber back
before her friendship group is destroyed forever. What could go wrong???
Join Lottie as she battles the mean girls, takes on school injections
(apparently they can go through your arm!) and even more extremely
embarrassing moments.

Eraser is always cleaning up everyone else's mistakes. Except for
Ruler and Pencil Sharpener, none of the other school supplies seem
to appreciate her. They all love how sharp Pencil is and how Tape
and Glue help everyone stick together. Eraser wants to create so
that she can shine like the others. She decides to give it a try,
but it's not until the rubber meets the road that Eraser begins to
understand a whole lot about herself. Inspired by a school essay
their daughter Kate wrote in the third grade, the author and
illustrator behind Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winner You Are (Not)
Small have created a desktop drama about figuring out who you are,
finding happiness, and the importance of second, third, and maybe
even fourth chances.
An entertaining and charming story about an eccentric, loveable
family - 'Endearingly funny' 5-star review, Telegraph Chloe Deal is
observant. Every day she notices small details - like how Front
Door always refuses to open when it's raining; how whatever task he
sets out to do, Daddy usually ends up snoozing to the radio in his
shed; how her younger sister Daisy muddles her similes but never
her fashion sense, and how Mummy's nostrils flare when Dad forgets
to mow the lawn, again. So when Chloe starts a school project about
her house, she ends up cataloguing the chaotic balancing act of her
family along with it. In the run up to the school holidays (and
Chloe's birthday), disaster follows disaster at home and school.
Mummy's patience is beginning to unravel. Can Chloe get the house,
her siblings and her father in shape before it's too late?
Galaxy has always known she’s destined for fame and fortune as a solo singer. She has the voice, the dance moves and is always coming up with new lyrics. So when she spots a poster for a talent show at school, she knows she has to enter. Then troublemaker Sabrina suggests they enter together and Galaxy is shocked. Firstly, that they actually have something in common, and secondly that Sabrina suggests they form a rock band! Rock is totally not Galaxy’s thing, she doesn’t know Sabrina that well, and what would her best friend Kia think? She’s about to say no when Sabrina points out that Beyoncé and Lauryn Hill both got their start being in a band and agrees that Galaxy can be lead singer. So she hesitantly decides to share the spotlight. But when the only students interested in joining their band are Grace, a socially awkward goody two shoes, and Galaxy’s little sister Zaya, is Galaxy’s chance at stardom over before it’s even begun??
