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.
"So this is really a school for criminals." It was meant as a
question, though it came out more as an accusation. "We are so much
more than that," Caspian said, sitting in a plush leather chair and
gesturing for Gabriel to sit in a similar one across the table. "We
are a home for the forgotten, a sanctuary for the lost and ... yes,
a training ground for the greatest crooks of the future."
13-year-old Gabriel is a brilliant pickpocket, a skill which he
uses to keep his often empty belly not quite so empty. And then one
day, he's caught. But instead of being arrested, he is invited by
the mysterious Caspian Crook to attend Crookhaven - a school for
thieves. At Crookhaven, students are trained in lock-picking,
forgery and 'crim-nastics', all with the intention of doing good
out in the world, by conning the bad and giving back to the
innocent. But ... can you ever really trust a thief? With a school
wide competition to be crowned Top Crook and many mysteries to
uncover, Gabriel's first year at Crookhaven will be one to
remember... An irresistible series about chosen family, high stakes
thievery, and what it really means to do good. Perfect for fans of
M.G. Leonard and Anthony Horowitz.

"For fans of Holly Jackson and Karen M McManus." The Observer "An
awesome book, full of mystery, friendship and sass. ***** " The Sun
"Fun, twisty and insightful...will keep you on the edge of your
seat." Adiba Jaigirdar, YA Book Prize winning author of Hani and
Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating "I'll make it clear from the start: I
did not kill Hugh Henry Van Boren. I didn't even help. Well, not
intentionally." When Hugh Henry Van Boren, one of the most popular
and richest kids in Jess Choudhary's school, is found dead, the
student body is left reeling and wondering who the murderer could
be... Jess, a student under strict instructions to keep her record
clean or risk losing her scholarship, finds herself at the centre
of the investigation when it's revealed that Hugh died in the exact
same way as a character in a short story she wrote. And then Jess
receives an anonymous text thanking her for the inspiration. With
time running out, Jess knows if she doesn't solve this mystery
she'll finally have something in common with Hugh Henry. She'll be
dead too.
When 16-year-old Eliza Lin’s personal essay about meeting the love of
her life goes viral, she gets everything she’s ever wanted: the
approval of her new classmates, a rare internship opportunity at her
favourite publisher, and a devoted online following who think her
relationship is #couplegoals.
The only problem? Eliza made the whole essay up.
In fact, Eliza's never even been in a relationship before, let alone in
love. All good writing is lying, right? Desperate to cover up the
truth, Eliza makes a deal with her classmate Caz: she’ll help him write
his college applications if he poses as her boyfriend. But Caz plays
the role of boyfriend a bit too well...
But Eliza's carefully crafted image begins to unravel as the
relationship with Caz becomes more and more real. Can she still follow
her dreams if it means breaking her own heart?
