A fun middle-grade contemporary fantasy with an all-BIPOC cast,
about a social-media loving tween who gets sent to an ultra-private
witch camp—now in paperback!Hasani’s post-seventh-grade summer
to-do list is pretty simple: get a bigger following for her makeup
YouTube channel and figure out how to get her parents back
together. What she does NOT expect is that an emotional outburst
will spark a latent magical ability in her. Or that the magic will
be strong enough to attract the attention of witches. Or that
before she can say #BlackGirlMagic, she’ll be shipped off on a
scholarship to a fancy finishing school for talented young
ladies.Les Belles Demoiselles is a literal charm school. Here,
generations of young ladies from old-money witch families have
learned to harness their magic, and alumnae grow to become some of
the most powerful women across industries, including politicians,
philanthropists, CEOs, entrepreneurs—and yes, even social media
influencers. Needless to say, admission to the school is highly
coveted, very exclusive . . . and Hasani sticks out like a weed in
a rose bouquet.While the other girls have always known they were
destined to be witches, Hasani is a Wildseed—a stray witch from a
family of non-witches, with no background knowledge, no way to
control her magic, and a lot to catch up on. “Wildseed” may be
an insult that the other girls throw at her, but Wildseeds are more
powerful than they know. And Hasani will learn that there are ways
to use magic and thrive that can never be taught in a classroom.

'Sharp, brilliantly plotted, and totally engrossing' - Karen
McManus, New York Times-bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying
There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook. First
there was the car accident - two girls dead after hitting a tree on
a rainy night. Then the murders happened - two girls were killed by
the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know
why he did it. Monica's sister was the last cheerleader to die.
After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No
one wanted to be reminded of the girls they'd lost. That was five
years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to
remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it's not that easy.
Her world is starting to unravel. After she discovers the letters
in her stepdad's desk, unearths an ancient phone, and meets a
strange new friend at school, Monica can't just move on. Whatever
happened five years ago isn't over. People know more than they're
letting on and somehow, Monica is at the center of it all. There
are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn't mean
anyone else is safe.

Billy Loves Birds tells the fact-filled story of a day in the life
of Billy, a budding young naturalist who is wild about birds of all
kinds! Billy encounters many different kinds of birds in his
adventures during his day at Forest School, and this book is filled
with facts about all the different species he comes across, and
some that he can only dream of seeing in the wild one day. He
studies a blue tits' nest with chicks about to fledge, spies a
kingfisher catching a worm, and shows his friend how to peck like a
woodpecker! Follow Billy as he shares his love of birds - discover
how to trumpet like a crane or laugh like a kookaburra and learn
what makes feathers fabulous or beaks extraordinary. With an
engaging and lively narrative from Jess French and fun, warm
illustrations from Duncan Beedie this book will help ignite a love
and appreciation for nature, right on our doorsteps. The Nature
Heroes series focuses on a group of friends who are passionate
about nature and the great outdoors. Each book features a different
child who has a favourite topic that they are fascinated by: Billy
Loves Birds, Bella Loves Bugs, Ava Loves Animals, and Pedro Loves
the Planet! Playful text and funny relatable illustrations make
this an accessible series, which provides an entertaining
introduction to the natural world.
