Agatha Parrot is the most exciting and hilarious comedy series
since Mr Gum! But don't take our word for it . . . take hers! Hiya!
This book is about Odd Street School where I go along with mad Ivy
who always jumps down stairs four at a time WAHOO! And Martha who
is big and jolly and can sort out boys. The oddest teacher we've
got is Miss Barking who wears goggles and gloves to use a pencil
sharpener. The story is about when she tried to execute Martha with
a floppy cardboard axe, but instead Martha's head floated off and
exploded ha ha brilliant! Don't worry. Martha ends up eating an ice
cream... but if you want to know how, then you'll have to read the
insides, won't you? WOW how exciting - da-da-darrrrrrh! As well as
stories you'll get the full gory guide to school life, such as Miss
Barking's daft plan to hold a sports day without any winners, how
to make the most of just having one line in the school play, the
secret teacher beauty competition and how to cure a highly
infectious outbreak of invisible spots. Hope you like it, and
thanks for reading this BLURB! Written by the hottest new prospect
in children's books, Kjartan Poskitt, and illustrated by the
artistic genius behind Andy Stanton's Mr Gum, David Tazzyman,
Agatha Parrot is more brilliant than you could possibly imagine.
Seriously - Try to imagine it. Nope, not even close. Anyway, it's
the funnest of funny children's books.

Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic. An explosive fantasy debut that's perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas and Cinderella is Dead!
After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential programme for bright high-schoolers at UNC – Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape – until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.
A flying demon feeding on human energies.
A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.
And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts – and fails – to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw.
The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.
She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets – and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down – or join the fight.

'Your kids need this lovely book' Kate Beckinsale Four stories in
one! I have a twin brother. Everyone calls him Jimmy, which is sort
of the English version of Dimitri, his actual Greek name. Our mum's
Greek, you see. I'm Cally, short for Calista, which means, I don't
want to sound big-headed or anything, 'most beautiful'. I'm not
sure about Dimitri, but if Dimitri means
most-annoying-brother-in-the-whole-wide-world, then that's him.
Join Cally and Jimmy in four hilarious stories, perfect for newly
confident readers. They get into scrapes together, bake some
poisonous cakes, almost ruin their school assembly and finally have
a twintastic birthday party.
Bonnie's life is pretty great, she has to admit: loving parents,
nice siblings, lovely friends, a kind uncle ... and her cool auntie
is her hero. And in fact, despite grown-ups' grumbles about teens
and tech, Bonnie doesn't care much for social media, or for her
phone. So when she and her friends get added to the prestigious G7
chat group with some other girls from her school, she's at first
amused. But then her amusement turns into irritation as the
notifications stack up. Is it just Bonnie, or are the messages
getting more intense, with a sharp edge? Why is G7 descending into
crime and cruelty? But before Bonnie can get a handle on her social
life, a family member vanishes, and irritation turns into terror.
Is it a coincidence, or are her frenemies to blame? And will
Bonnie's family ever be whole again?
