plot of land is behind Malcolm's school and it is where Uncle Gobb
wants to set up his own rival Dread Shed School of Facts. Oh no!

Big lies mean big trouble for Jay and his mates. Funny and tender, My
Big Mouth, CLiPPA Award-winner Steven Camden's brilliant first novel
for readers of 8 to 11, is about friendship, storytelling and the price
of being cool. Brilliantly illustrated throughout by Chanté Timothy.
‘They think I’m cool.’
Dom’s face wrinkled up, ‘Who does? Who cares?’
But I did. I cared.
When Dad leaves, ten-year-old Jay has questions.
Where has he gone?
Why did he go?
When no one can give Jay the answers he needs, he makes up his own
stories, setting off a chain reaction that sees regular old Jay go from
just another face in the crowd, to the centre of attention.
But being the coolest kid in school comes at a cost. And as things
spiral out of control, can the most unlikely person help him learn the
most important lesson of all?

New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson delivers the witty and pulse-pounding conclusion to the Truly Devious series as Stevie Bell solves the mystery that has haunted Ellingham Academy for over 75 years. Now available in paperback.
Ellingham Academy must be cursed. Three people are now dead. One, a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder. Another, dead by misadventure. And now, an accident in Burlington has claimed another life. All three in the wrong place at the wrong time. All at the exact moment of Stevie’s greatest triumph . . .
She knows who Truly Devious is. She’s solved it. The greatest case of the century.
At least, she thinks she has. With this latest tragedy, it’s hard to concentrate on the past. Not only has someone died in town, but David disappeared of his own free will and is up to something. Stevie is sure that somehow—somehow—all these things connect. The three deaths in the present. The deaths in the past. The missing Alice Ellingham and the missing David Eastman. Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers.
Then another accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont. This is too much for the parents and administrators. Ellingham Academy is evacuated. Obviously, it’s time for Stevie to do something stupid. It’s time to stay on the mountain and face the storm—and a murderer.
In the tantalizing finale to the Truly Devious trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson expertly tangles her dual narrative threads and ignites an explosive end for all who’ve walked through Ellingham Academy.

A mindfulness storybook that weaves calming actions into a magical
story, showing young children ways to soothe their own worries.
From the creators of The Fire Fox, Alexandra Page and Stef Murphy,
shortlisted for Oscar's Book Prize 2022. It's show-and-tell
tomorrow and Rory is anxious - he doesn't have anything special to
share with the class. But everything changes when Rory meets his
very own worry tiger. "Try this," said the tiger. "See how quiet
you can be. Tiptoe like a tiger and tell me what you see."
Breathing deep to smell the jungle scents. Stretching to join the
monkeys high up in the trees. Listening carefully to the creatures
all around. This enchanting story is full of mindfulness actions
that anyone can take to feel calm. The Worry Tiger is a gorgeously
illustrated book with a gentle rhyme that's a joy to read aloud and
will help children relax and speak about what might be feeding
their anxiety. Includes a set of fun and easy mindfulness exercises
at the back of the book.
It isn't that Abby Carson can't do her schoolwork. She just doesn't
"like" doing it. And consequently, Abby will have to repeat sixth
grade--unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking
on an extra credit project: find a pen pal in a distant country.
But when Abby's first letter arrives at a small school in
Afghanistan, complications arise. The elders agree that any letters
going back to America must be written well, but the only qualified
English-speaking student is a boy. And in this village, it's not
proper for a boy to correspond with a girl. So, Sadeed's sister
will dictate and sign the letters for him. But what about the
villagers who believe that girls should not be anywhere near a
school? And what about those who believe that any contact with
Americans is...unhealthy?
As letters flow back and forth--between the prairies of Illinois
and the mountains of central Asia, across cultural and religious
divides, through the minefields of different lifestyles and
traditions--a small group of children begin to speak and listen to
each other. And in just a few short weeks, they make important
discoveries about their communities, about their world, and most of
all, about themselves.
When your best friend is a unicorn, magical adventures are
guaranteed! Imagine a school where you meet your own unicorn and
have amazing adventures together! That's what happens for the girls
at Unicorn Academy on beautiful Unicorn Island. Zara loves solving
mysteries and having adventures with her dreamy unicorn, Moonbeam.
She can't wait for Moonbeam to discover her magic power so that
they can become the perfect partners! Moonbeam is having strange
visions, but Zara is sure they're just daydreams. When Zara's
attempt to stop a terrible heatwave leads her into trouble, can
Moonbeam discover her magic in time to rescue her? With a glittery
cover and beautifully illustrated throughout by Lucy Truman,
Unicorn Academy is the perfect series for 7+ readers who love magic
and adventure. Check out the other titles in this series: Sophia
and Rainbow, Scarlett and Blaze, Isabel and Cloud and many more!
